Zitat des Tages von Louis R. Chenevert:
UTC is very well positioned to take advantage of 2 large megatrends: urbanization and the fast-growing commercial aerospace market.
Boeing does a great job in introducing product that kind of changes the game.
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.
The need for air transport is real, and it's not going to change. The key is to have the right business model and have the right initiatives, in my view, to succeed.
I see opportunities in all my businesses. And the reason is simple. We thrive on countries that are urbanizing.
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.
If you want to attract more investment, foreign investment, more talent, more business, I think having some level of certainty that the business environment respects, those who have been your partners for a long time, is important.
Goodrich was the biggest acquisition in the history of aerospace.
In my view, until the U.S. tax policy is revised, not just tax extenders but the reform of tax policy, it makes it very attractive for us to invest on acquisition overseas.
We've flown the president since Eisenhower, and we're going to continue to fly the president for generations to come. This is something we're very proud of.
