The aerospace industry demands strict adherence to safety and quality standards, leading to complex and time-consuming certification processes for new materials and designs. The specialized materials and processes required for aircraft transparencies can be limited in capacity and subject to rigorous testing, further extending the production times. The technological advancements and regulations often result in design changes and re-certifications, further delaying the process. Long lead times for components can disrupt supply chains and make it challenging to meet production schedules, potentially affecting aircraft manufacturing timelines.
