Current issues faced by the aerospace industry

AI Thread Summary
The aerospace industry currently faces numerous challenges, particularly in commercial aviation and spacecraft sectors. Key issues include hardware limitations, with a focus on hypersonics and combustion technologies. Space debris is a significant concern, as it consists of defunct satellites and other objects that do not deorbit as expected, leading to potential collisions and hazards in space. The discussion emphasizes the need for a more focused inquiry into specific issues within the industry to obtain relevant information. Understanding these complexities is crucial for addressing the ongoing problems in aerospace.

Hello everyone,

I wanted to learn about the issues that the aerospace industry is currently facing. Could anyone please help me in this regard. I searched on the internet but could not find a proper website that explained this. So I thought this forum was the right place to ask about this. Thanks in advance.

That's a lot of territory to cover. It would help some if you could narrow the list of "issues" in which you are interested.

For example: airplanes or spacecraft ; military or commercial aviation; manned aircraft, satellites, unmanned aircraft/drones; design, production, employment opportunities; passenger aircraft or cargo aircraft; propulsion, structures, etc.

There are myriad issues facing any complex, technical industry. Staying focused in your search will help you uncover relevant information.

I was mainly looking for issues being faced by the commercial aviation and the spacecraft industry.
 
Hate to break your bubble, most of the issues are in hardware for now. The area that is blooming though is hypersonics and combustion.

sorry to interrupt...could anyone help me about the issues concerned with manned aircraft??

I have a doubt regarding the space debris problem, since we know that artificial satellites deorbit and fall down over time if allowed to , space debris are also essentially "artificial satellites " right ? Why don't they just fall down after some time ?why do we talk about the space debris problem ?

Due to the constant never ending supply of "cool stuff" happening in Aerospace these days I'm creating this thread to consolidate posts every time something new comes along. Please feel free to add random information if its relevant. So to start things off here is the SpaceX Dragon launch coming up shortly, I'll be following up afterwards to see how it all goes. :smile: https://blogs.nasa.gov/spacex/
