AVIATION

Why is it important?

The aviation industry has specific features associated with the highest requirements for the technical reliability of transportation safety. The high degree of product adaptation to the needs of individual customers creates the highest competition among aircraft and component manufacturers in the speed of developing a new product and introducing it into production.
