AIRCRAFT manufacturer Kelley Aerospace is looking to bring more than 250 locals under its wing as it moves more of its operations to the city-state, a bright spot in a turbulent industry hit hard by the Covid-19 pandemic. It is also looking to open an academy to train about 500 pilots in five years. Read more at The Business Times.

There are three initiatives the firm is piloting. Firstly, it said that it is developing a business jet that can fly at the speed of sound for corporate and private clients worldwide, and has orders for about 100 of these jets.

It also aims to maintain a fleet of 100 aircraft from Airbus, Boeing, Dassault and Embraer by 2024 for its clients. Inflight meals will be prepared by three-star Michelin chef Bruno Menard. These aircraft will be based out of Singapore, South Korea, Japan and China. Next, it plans to design, manufacture and assemble UAVs - including its Black Eagle UAV - in Singapore, which it will need a local workforce for.

Lastly, it will build up its capabilities to design and manufacture carbon fibre for use in aircraft. When in full force, it expects to be able to make around three UAV frames in a day, versus current standards of one every few weeks. These frames will also be lighter, stronger and more durable, it noted.
