Aerospace is a huge industry which includes manufacturers of well-known products; airplanes, space crafts, satellites, and producers of not so obvious systems and components such as landing gears, navigation systems, safety and emergency systems, engines, turbines, and even cabins interiors and kitchen galleys.
Along with the most recognized aerospace companies like Boeing, SpaceX, Lockheed, and Airbus, there are hundreds of smaller manufactures that produce the components and subsystems that are needed to support the industry.
