The Impact of Brexit on the U.S. Aerospace Industry

December 29, 2017

A referendum to decide whether the United Kingdom (UK) should remain in the European Union (EU), or “Brexit,” narrowly passed on June 23, 2016, triggering negotiations to set the terms of withdrawal by March 29, 2019. Among the many agreements to be renegotiated in that time will be the UK’s future membership and relationship with the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which together with the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration, sets the standard for aviation safety and oversight worldwide. As the UK has the largest aerospace manufacturing industry in Europe and is the home of many major customers of U.S. aerospace products, their relationship with EASA will have a significant impact on U.S. aerospace companies

Shipping Aircraft Tire Assemblies by Air

whitePaper | December 15, 2019

Serviceable tire assemblies are considered dangerous since they are typically inflated to high pressure. Essentially, when tire assemblies are shipped by air, the pressure inside the tire increases once the plane reaches altitude. This rise in pressure could cause an over-inflated tire to explode in the cargo hold and compromise the structural integrity of the aircraft. Aircraft tires that are not mounted on the rim are not considered dangerous as they are not under pressure and do not pose a safety hazard.
