  • The Economics of the UK Aerospace Industry: a Transaction Cost Analysis
    The economics of the UK aerospace industry: A transaction cost analysis of defence and civilian firms Ian Jackson PhD Department of Economics and Related Studies University of York 2004 Abstract The primaryaim of this thesisis to assessvertical integration in the UK aerospace industrywith a transactioncost approach. There is an extensivetheoretical and conceptualliterature on transactioncosts, but a relativelack of empiricalwork. This thesisapplies transaction cost economics to the UK aerospaceindustry focusing on the paradigmproblem of the make-or-buydecision and related contract design. It assesses whetherthe transactioncost approachis supported(or rejected)by evidencefrom an originalsurvey of theUK aerospaceindustry. The centralhypothesis is that UK aerospacefirms are likely to makecomponents in- housedue to higherlevels of assetspecificity, uncertainty, complexity, frequency and smallnumbers, which is reflectedin contractdesign. The thesismakes these concepts operational.The empiricalmethodology of the thesisis basedon questionnairesurvey dataand econometric tests using Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) andlogit regressions to analysethe make-or-buy decision and the choiceof contracttype. The resultsfrom this thesisfind limited evidencein supportof the transactioncost approachapplied to the UK aerospaceindustry, in spiteof a bespokedataset. The empiricaltests of verticalintegration for both make-or-buyand contracttype as the dependentvariable yield insufficientevidence to concludethat the transactioncost approachis an appropriateframework

  • Case Study BAE Systems Eurofighter Typhoon
    Executive Summary Eurofighter Typhoon is the world’s most advanced swing-role combat aircraft. A highly agile aircraft, it is capable of ground-attack as well as air defence. With 620 aircraft on order, it is also the largest and most complex European military aviation project currently running. A collaboration between Germany, Italy, Spain and the UK, it is designed to meet air force requirements well into the 21st Century. Advanced electronics and state of the art onboard computers are critical to the Typhoon’s high performance and agility. These systems need to be safe, reliable and easily maintained over the estimated 25 year lifecycle of the aircraft. The Ada programming language was therefore the natural choice for Typhoon’s onboard computers. It provides a high-integrity, high-quality development environment with a well defined structure that is designed to produce highly reliable and maintainable real-time software. Typhoon is currently the largest European Ada project with over 500 developers working in the language. Tranche 1 of the project saw 1.5 million lines of code being created. BAE Systems is a key member of the Eurofighter consortium, responsible for a number of areas including the aircraft’s cockpit. As part of latest phase of the project (named “Tranche 2”) it needed a solution for host Ada compilation in the development of software for the Typhoon’s mission computers, as well as for desktop testing. BAE Systems selected GNAT Pro from AdaCore in 2002 for this mission-critical and safety-critical area of the project. AdaCore has been closely involved with the Ada language since its inception and was able to provide a combination of multi-language technology and world-leading support to BAE Systems.

  • The Finnish Air Force BAE Systems Hawk
    The Finnish Air Force t Hawk 66 Hawk 51 BAE Systems Hawk The BAE Systems Hawk is a British single-engined two-seat advanced jet trainer. The Finnish Air Force's Hawks bear the military designation HW and are operated by Fighter Squadron 41 of the the Air Force Academy, primarily in advanced and tactical training roles. In the Hawk, a cadet pursuing a fighter pilot's career gets his or her first taste of jet flying after having learnt basic flying skills at the controls of a piston-engined aircraft. The first (advanced) Hawk training phase, designated HW 1, starts during the second year of cadets' studies in the National Defence University and consists of Hawk type rating, navigation, instrument flying, aerobatics, formation flying, and night flying. The next (lead-in) phase, known as HW 2, focuses on tactical training and consists of basic air-to-air and air-to-ground work before students progress to the more demanding Hornet multi-role fighter. The Hawk can also carry air sampling pods that were used extensively during the volcanic ash crisis in the spring of 2010. The Hawk has has limited engagement capability against attack aircraft, helicopters and other equivalent targets under favorable conditions. The Hawk is also flown by the Air Force's official display team the Midnight Hawks, in which case the team's four aircraft are fitted with smoke generators for enhanced visual effect. Team pilots are flight instructors. During the 2017 display season six aircraft used by the team received a special blue-and-white livery in celebration of the 100th anniversary of Finland’s independence.
