Mike Stengel
Senior Associate, AeroDynamic Advisory

The commercial aerospace industry today is part of the backbone of the global economy due to the number of programs in production and under development, as well as record high production rates. However, aircraft programs are expensive and risky, sometimes putting the entire company on the line. While the financial consequences can be high for a program that does not sell well, there are also “home runs” that have provided streams of profits for OEMs. In this seminar, Mike Stengel of AeroDynamic Advisory will examine some of the key aircraft platforms that have defined the Airbus & Boeing portfolios, including the challenges faced during the development, successes & failures in marketing the aircraft to customers, and the financial and strategic outcomes for the companies.
