Advanced Production Technology in Aircraft Manufacture

Abstract

AIRLINERS of the future will sell on the world market only if production cost remains competitive while covering the installation of advanced technology. Production cost is determined mainly by the manufacturing plants and is made up of hourly rates and cost of machine utilisation as well as tooling and materials. In aircraft production, many small metal components are needed in relatively small quantities and the cost of producing them has hitherto always been high.
