Spirit AeroSystems is helping customers transform production by

learning curves.
“Spirit AeroSystems is not just talking digital transformation,
we are designing and executing highly complex work packages using
lessons learned as one of the world’s largest commercial Tier 1
aerostructures company,” said Eric Hein, Spirit Vice President of
Defense Advanced Development and Space Programs. “Our experience
allows us to help our customers design and build next generation
platforms using the digital thread to ensure smooth transition from
prototype to production, while simultaneously ensuring complete
engineering traceability every step of the way successfully in the
rapidly changing marketplace.”
“Digital engineering and advanced manufacturing are key
components of Spirit’s defense diversification strategy and will
remain core areas of investment going forward,” Hein said.
Hein will also be a participant on the Digital
Engineering/Advanced Manufacturing panel on Tuesday, September 21,
at 11:00 a.m. ET, which will be moderated by Dr. Joel B. Mozer,
