We produce motor drive electronics; we produce cargo systems for large narrow-body and wide-body airplanes and, more importantly, the emergency escape chute that goes on these planes.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Fundamentally, we have broken our aerospace business into three parts - large parts which go into the wings and fuselage, components for jet engines, and specialised structural components for landing gear.
UTC Aerospace Systems has a couple of million dollars of content on every single aircraft that gets delivered. That's the chutes, the electric system, rotors, etc.
If we did not have such a thing as an airplane today, we would probably create something the size of N.A.S.A. to make one.
We can make aircrafts that can navigate a maze of hallways.
Designing aircraft and racing cars is an extremely exciting thing.
You can't imagine a world, quite frankly, without a safe and secure aviation system. And so our job is to really focus on that, and what we need to do to keep it safe and secure.
I'm not much into current electronic stuff, what I think of as lounge electronics, mumbling electronics.
I think there are a lot of technocrats in the business who would much rather work with just wheels and gears and machinery. Those things interest them more than humanity and I wish them the best of luck.
I'm fascinated with the electronic devices that we can mess around with.
I play with toys. I have one plane that travels with me. It travels with the equipment.
