Aerospace Team
The Office of Transportation and Machinery’s Aerospace Team covers a full spectrum of aerospace products, including aircraft parts, general aviation aircraft, rotorcraft, business jets and large civil aircraft. We also work on issues relating to the commercial space sector, including launch vehicles and satellites.
The Aerospace Team undertakes industry analysis, contributes to U.S. trade policy development, participates in trade negotiations, organizes trade capacity building programs, and evaluates the impact of domestic and international economic and regulatory policies on the aerospace industry. The team works with other Department of Commerce units and U.S. agencies in developing a public policy environment that advances U.S. competitiveness at home and abroad.
A key to the successful efforts of our team is our strong working relationship with trade associations and individual companies within our sectors.
Please contact us regarding any competitiveness issues your company or trade association might have.
