Survey of Industry Professionals Reveals What The Future May Hold
The American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics looked towards the future and asked its members and the aerospace community to gauge overall sentiment and industry outlook. This first report is available now and the full report will be released the week of September 27.
The report reveals perspectives of those who are driving the profession forward. The data spans the three AIAA domains—Aeronautics, Aerospace Research and Development , and Space. A summary of the findings include:
- Aerospace is more optimistic than the aviation sector overall. Where aerospace reports 80% of the respondents feeling positive about the future, 75% feel positive in aviation.
- Cybersecurity is at the top of the list of challenges facing aerospace and defense.
- Space and AI/ Machine Learning hold the most promise for future opportunity according to professionals. Demonstrating commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion is a focus that remains a priority. Despite the energy being placed in these sectors, workers say they are not sure if the most meaningful changes are being made.
“AIAA is committed to solving the problems, developing new ideas, and applying technology in creative ways to build a better future for everyone. The findings in the ‘2021 AIAA State of the Industry Report’ affirm our key issues and provide new insights that will help us address our community’s immediate needs and priorities as we shape the future of aerospace. We will use this data to help make progress at the pace required to accelerate innovation in our three domains—Aeronautics, Aerospace R&D, and Space,” said Dan Dumbacher, AIAA Executive Director.
