The Finance Minister's annual budget (2008-2009) was announced during a time of unprecedented growth for the Indian economy, punctuated by a global economic downturn in recent months. Bearing this in mind, the 2008 Union Budget was a lot more growth-neutral than many in recent memory, while yet striking a decidedly populist note. However, the Aerospace & Defense sector, has not received much attention in this year's budget, despite being one of the fastest growing in the Indian economy. The changes made have mostly been incremental, and the impact on the industry is likely to be indirect in nature.

Competitive scenario in the Brazilian commercial aviation market has been regularly changing since early 2000s, with new growth opportunities and innovations in airlines' business models. Nevertheless, high levels of market concentration have always been a strong characteristic of the Brazilian airline business. The market is currently dominated by two companies that emerged with the crisis of the country's flag carrier Varig, and the entry of a new player is likely to change the scenario once again.

OSS Management is trying to elect three outside members to the Hexcel board, claiming the company's operating margins (10% in 2006) fail to match the margins of key competitors (18% for Cytec Industries Engineered Materials segment and 25% or Toray's Composite Materials business). The company's quarter returns--record sales, stronger profits--only partially answers those criticisms. Meanwhile, to no one's surprise, Boeing officially pushed back the first flight of its 787 Dreamliner until the fourth quarter of 2008, from June 2008. We also note the first flight of nanotubes on a nonexperimental aircraft, and highlight a carbon fiber expansion at Cytec.

Indian Defence Industry - Investment Opportunities to Jet-Set to Greater Heights

Boeing finally addressed the Dreamliner "traveled work" issue by bringing the hammer down hard on Vought. Vought makes composite fuselage sections and then assembles them at a joint venture with Alenia Aeronautica. The composites are fine, but the assembly has been a real problem. Boeing's solution: buy out Vought's share of the venture and bring in experts to whip the assembly program into shape. While Airbus has already launched its A380 jumbo, it needs to slim down and find partners that can help it share the risk of developing the A350 to compete with the Dreamliner. Its goal is to sell of manufacturing facilities to those potential partners. Unfortunately, the falling dollar has scuttled the sale of its German factories to OHB.

Airbus must be laughing now. Boeing mocked while Airbus suffered delay after delay on its superjumbo A380. Well, the A380 just completed its first commercial revenue-generating flight, and now Airbus can watch as Boeing suffers yet another Dreamliner issue. The company recently admitted that it had to redesign its wing box, though it claims the move will not delay the first flight yet again. Program delays have meant revised profit forecasts, with Timet the latest Boeing supplier to suffer. Meanwhile, Boeing faces a new competitor from the Bombardier CSeries, which takes aim at its 40-year-old 737.

More than 20 years ago, when routes to low-pressure diamond films were first developed, researchers thought it would take only a few years to take advantage of their exceptional thermal, electrical, wear, and friction properties. Finally, Advanced Diamond Technologies has come through on diamond's extraordinary promise in the most mundane of applications--pump seals. Not only does diamond perform better, but it is actually cost competitive with silicon carbide. Meanwhile, Boeing says it will challenge the Air Force's decision to award a $40 billion air tanker contract to a Northrop/EADS group. The deal would establish EADS as a real player in the US military air market.
