Canadian Aerospace –

Important Facts and Figures

■ Key early milestones

– First powered flight in the Commonwealth – Baddeck, 23 Feb 1909, AES Silver Dart

– Canada was third nation to have its own satellite built and launched – 1962, Alouette

■ Aerospace is a national industry with regional clusters

– ~25% of economic activity outside of Ontario/Quebec

– Montreal region has third largest concentration of aircraft manufacturing activity

■ Canada is a Global leader

– Small and microsatellites, civil helicopters, small gas turbines, simulators, landing gear

systems, regional aircraft, business jets, maintenance, avionics

■ Economic impact (Ref AIAC Aerospace Economic Impact, 2010)

– ~80k employees, $22B in revenue (~80% from exports)

– Employment normalized to population – 2nd versus all other nations (France is 1st)

– Revenue normalized to GDP - 2nd versus all other nations (France is 1st)

■ Emerson Report (2012) highlights challenges and opportunities

Aerospace at Carleton

■ First BEng program in Canada (1988) and largest

by enrolment (160 in 2012 vs. 30 in 1992)

■ Four streams

A - Aerodynamics, Propulsion and Vehicle Performance

B - Aerospace Structures, Systems and Vehicle Design

C - Aerospace Electronics and Systems

D - Space Systems Design

■ Originally only Stream A and B

– Stream C added in the early 1990’s

– Stream D added in 2007-08

5

Core Aerospace Courses

■ Most or all AERO students take

– AERO 3002 Design and Practice (A,B,C,D)

– AERO 4003 Systems Design (A,B,C)

– AERO 4907 (Capstone Design Project)

– AERO 3700 Aerospace Materials (A,B, D-elect.)

■ There are many stream-specific courses

– Can be taken as electives (space permitting)
