AERONAUTICS

AERONAUTICS

The aeronautics and aerospace industries develop high-tech activities.

They include companies whose activity is linked to the design, construction and marketing of aircraft (planes, helicopters, drones) and spacecraft (space vehicles, launchers, satellites), for civil or military use.

Aeronautics is a powerful, innovative and dynamic industry in the civil, military and space sectors. The aerospace industry is federated by GIFAS, which ensures the best possible cooperation between the various fields of expertise in the French aerospace industry.

  • On a global scale, the aeronautics and aerospace industries are flagship sectors of the European Union. They rank second only to the United States. It is one of the few sectors, along with defense, to contribute positively to France's trade balance.
  • The Covid-19 crisis has hit the aeronautics sector hard, especially aircraft manufacturers, with an impact on the entire aeronautics chain from manufacturers to subcontractors. This drop in traffic and the uncertainties of the recovery have had a very strong impact on the aeronautical sector, forcing it to adapt to the rise and fall of production rates. Unlike previous crises that have shaken the aeronautical sector, this one will be long and severe.
  • Faced with this sudden drop in demand, the aeronautics sector must adapt its production rates by finding a balance between its development, maintaining skills and managing flows.
  • In general, the aeronautics industry is subject to strong variations in production rates. t plays a special role in the French economy, and aeronautics manufacturers have ideas and need to be supported. They need to be able to adapt both to new programs (increased production rates) and to economic difficulties.

AERONAUTICAL SUBCONTRACTING

With each new program, aeronautics manufacturers have outsourced an increasingly important part of their design and manufacturing activities. In 30 years, the aeronautics industry has gone from quasi-prototypical production to mass production.

In order to implement their outsourcing strategy and meet demand, prime contractors have had to adapt their organization and refocus on their strategic activities, i.e. the design and manufacture of high value-added aircraft components and final assembly. This means delegating complex subassemblies to partners who are strong enough to design and/or manufacture them, while managing their own subcontracting chain.

The subcontracting is part of a determined production cycle as well as technical specifications obliged by the principal. These are organized by rank. The subcontractor has the possibility to subcontract himself a part of the execution of his contract: he then becomes the “1st rank subcontractor” and acts as the main contractor towards his own subcontractor called “2nd rank”. And in the same way, the latter can itself subcontract to another company, called the “3rd rank” subcontractor, and so on…

All the subcontractors and equipment manufacturers in the aeronautics industry represent 70 to 80% of the sector’s added value.

We advise tier 1, 2 and 3 aeronautical subcontractors in the aeronautical sector (interview link) as well as distributors of high precision equipment for the aeronautical and medical sectors.
