International plc+ 2 Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC Aircraft manufacturers can expect to enjoy several years of strong demand, as order flows remain healthy, financing is getting easier and growth in aircraft lessors smooths the cycle. Three factors give us confidence this cycle will be stronger for longer: Backlog confidence is rising. Backlogs for aircraft OEMS (original equipment manufacturers) are at all-time highs and now come from a more diversified customer base. High oil prices are driving demand for fuel-efficient aircraft, airlines in developed markets need to replace older fleets, and growth is still robust in emerging markets. Our bottom-up analysis of Boeing and Airbus backlogs suggest a low risk of cancellations. Financing hurdles are easing. EM banks and export credit agencies have allowed DM airlines to focus on return-enhancing replacements and EM airlines on expansion. We look at new financing opportunities available as the EETC market opens beyond the US, which should help airlines with attractive fleet orders to finance in the high-yield market. Leasing companies are playing a crucial role. Often overlooked, the proliferation of aircraft lessors plays a vital role in stabilising the commercial OEM cycle, enhancing the capital base, diversifying the customer base and bringing liquidity to the market. Who will benefit? EADS, Boeing and B/E Aerospace are clear beneficiaries of the strong cycle. Suppliers may see lower aftermarket revenues, but we like Rolls and Safran for Morgan Stanley Blue Papers focus on critical investment themes that require coordinated their young fleet exposure. Leasing company Air Lease looks attractive for its young fleet. perspectives across industry sectors, regions, Airlines IAG and Turkish should gain the most from EETCs.

The FLE, or J-Panels for the Boeing 787 have previously been manufactured at Spirit’s facility in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and the agreement with Nikkiso will transfer the work to Nikkiso Vietnam, Inc. (NVI, a 100% subsidiary of Nikkiso Co., Ltd.) located in Hanoi, Vietnam. Transferring the composite panel work is part of Spirit’s on-going effort to examine all aspects of the company’s business to maximize the company’s core strength of manufacturing large aerostructures. First delivery from NVI is expected to take place by the end of 2014. The J-Panels will be delivered to Spirit Malaysia for assembly, and then to MHI in Nagoya Japan for final assembly, before being delivered to Boeing Everett or Boeing South Carolina. With the production of J-Panels being transferred to NVI, the supply chain of the 787 wing part will be completed within the Asian region before being delivered to Boeing, which improves the logistic cost and lead times. NVI has been delivering Boeing 777 Blocker Doors from year 2011 and Boeing 737 Bull Nose from year 2012, to Spirit Wichita.

  • Innovative Collaboration Project with Spirit
    INNOVATIVE COLLABORATION PROJECT WITH SPIRIT AEROSYSTEMS Media Release: 30th July, 2020 As part of Quickstep’s core research and development program, we are delighted to announce a new collaborative project with Spirit Aerosystems (Spirit), one of the world’s largest commercial aerospace suppliers. This exciting new project will develop the use of Quickstep’s proprietary manufacturing process technology, AeroQure, to produce an aircraft structural component. The parties will work to validate AeroQure as a commercial aerospace production solution, capable of meeting aerospace quality and performance requirements, as well as reduced product cost and high production rates. Quickstep has already obtained positive aerospace results with panels robotically laid-up and cured using AeroQure. The Qure manufacturing process has demonstrated reduced cycle times, substantially increased automation and step-change cost performance in non-aerospace applications. The next step will include preforming automatically laid-up laminates to a final geometry representative of an aerospace production part provided by Spirit. These prototype parts will be tested, both in Australia by Quickstep and the US by Spirit, to confirm they meet aerospace mechanical requirements. Referring to this announcement, CEO Mark Burgess said, “In partnership with the Advanced Manufacturing Growth Centre and several global industrial partners over the next 12 months this project will generate the foundation of a fully integrated industrial solution, paving the way towards future production contracts. It is an extremely exciting development and validation of our ongoing investment in composites research and development.” This release has been approved by the Board and is consistent with the outlook provided in the July Quarterly Report.
