Soaring to New Heights
Did you know that National Aerospace Week was established in 2010 as an opportunity for the aerospace and defense industry and its supporters to recognize the enormous contributions that the industry makes to America’s economy, competitiveness and national security?
During National Aerospace Week, the Americas Aerospace Quality Group (AAQG) / G-14 AASQC Conference is the perfect venue to witness final launch preparations for the new AS9100 series of standards. It’s also an opportunity to learn what is on the horizon from various aerospace experts including those representing Boeing, Lockheed Martin and Northrup Grumman, to name a few.
As a member of the SAE G-14 Americas Aerospace Quality Standards Committee (AAQSC), simpleQue’s Senior Director, Blake Russell is attending the G-14 Meetings in Charlotte, NC. The AAQSC is the SAE standards writing committee responsible for developing the aerospace quality standards.
