Notes on the hard parts of aerospace production.
Public technical writing on the constraints Syntrex works against. These describe the problem domain and the reasoning, not the engineering behind our systems.

Why high-mix aerospace automation breaks at configuration introduction
Automation economics assume repetition. Aerospace keeps changing the part. The cost that decides whether automation pays is usually incurred before the first good part is made.

Manufacturing from measured reality
Nominal design describes what should exist. Manufacturing has to act on what does exist. The gap between the two is where tolerance, capability and uncertainty decide whether a process is safe to run.

First article, process qualification and manufacturing reuse
Aerospace quality gates exist for good reasons and are not going away. The reusable part is not the acceptance evidence. It is the engineering required to get to it.
