Such joint ventures are possible due to the revenue brought in by the military sales and the work that was done in regards to defense. Without military sales, some of the ventures may need to fold, as their input may no longer be required. In light of such circumstances, the loss of such a prominent client is bound to send a disruptive wave throughout the organization and its…

The learning curve phenomenon was first originated in the aircraft industry (Wright, 1936). This study introduced the straight line power model which states that the cumulative average time taken to finish a specific activity decreases by a constant rate whenever the number of repetitions is doubled. Later, in the 1940’s, after World War II, the learning curve received more attention. At this time, the Stanford-B model was introduced as a modification of the straight line power model (Stanford…

Containing Battery Fires Designing a long-haul, twin-engine airliner that impressed both operator and passenger was the goal of Boeing when they launched the 7E7 program in 2003. Sweptback wings, higher-humidity in cabins, composite fuselage, ultra-high thrust engines and a simulated sky interior were just a few improvements since air transportation of an earlier generation (“Boeing 787 Dreamliner long-range,” n.d.). The aircraft plagued by launch delays, Boeing’s 787 Dreamliner, was positioned…
