Economic Development Winnipeg | YES! Winnipeg 15 Global Affairs Canada/Trade Commissioner Service, and Invest in Canada Identify leads in aerospace businesses considering locating to Canada and then presenting Winnipeg to these companies in a timely fashion. Business development activities YW's business development activities include prospecting, in-person meetings, follow-up calls, relationship building, presentations, proposals and pitches, tracking, customized site inspections and servicing. Business retention and expansion Seven local companies have been identified for business retention and expansion (BRE) interviews and intelligence gathering, for actionable insights and services offered. For 2020, five BRE interviews are slated to take place. Sector activities » Remain a member and participate in the different events organized by the Manitoba Aerospace Association and CIC Engineering. » Continue developing the relationship with WestCARD. » Strengthen the relationship with Red River College contacts as they work closely with aerospace companies using programs such as Centre for Aerospace Technology & Training with StandardAero. » Look for any opportunity to align local academic and industry business development efforts with Vision 2025, and ensure Winnipeg has a voice in the distribution of federal funding guided by that endeavour. » Leverage advanced manufacturing supercluster funds that may be applicable to any project opportunities in the province. Reduce flight costs and emissions through electric and hybrid engines Aerospace thought leaders are highlighting the need to preserve the environment and follow regulations, while boosting the performance of aircraft engines. Autonomous flight systems will be the future of the aerospace industry Engineers will need to perform closed-loop simulations between the sensors, control software and intelligent algorithms, to develop fully autonomous aircraft. Virtual reality and multiphysics simulations will be the only ways to test these autonomous flight systems to react to all possible situations in a reasonable timeframe. Maintenance, repair and operations of new aviation technology will rely on simulated data Currently, airline budgets are bogged down by surprise maintenance. By timing maintenance cycles to prevent malfunctions, engineers can minimize the expenses associated with grounding an aircraft. Additive manufacturing consolidates and lightweights aerospace parts This gives aerospace manufacturers the freedom to produce parts on demand and will make the supply chain more efficient. Growing complexity in the aerospace industry has a multiphysics simulation solution In multiphysics simulations, the results from physics domains feed, and at times feedback, into each other. This means engineers are better equipped at predicting how the aircraft systems will react in the real world. Source: Ansys, Inc.
