Canadian Aerospace –Important Facts and FiguresImportant Facts and Figures■ Key early milestones
– First powered flight in the Commonwealth – Baddeck 23 Feb 1909 AES Silver Dart– 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/Quebec25% 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 , p , g , , g g
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)
