The aerospace industry is vital to Canada. It contributed more than 211,000 value-added jobs to the economy in2015. Canadian aerospace manufacturing was over 5X as R&D-intensive as the manufacturing sector average.Worldwide, 40% of all commercial airliners deploy landing gears made in Ontario. Even so, the industry faceschallenges including: (a) developing innovative technologies; (b) overcoming barriers to technology uptake;and (c) training the workforce to support growth. To help Ontario's aerospace industry, our proposed researchprogram uses an industry-led supply chain model to develop next generation landing gear technologies focusedon jets primarily made in Canada. Bombardier Aerospace, Safran Landing Systems, and lower tiersmall/medium-sized firms will co-innovate to reduce barriers to technology uptake. They have the experience,expertise, facilities, relationships, and certifications to meet regulations globally and commercialize ensuingtechnology. Backed by provincial and federal governments, our College is also building a $70M aerospacecampus at Toronto's Downsview Park, the former de Havilland factory. When open in Fall 2018, this campuswill triple the current capacity of our aviation and aerospace training programs to address industry workforcegrowth and anticipated retirements. Our research program will provide direct experiential learning to more than500 students. Dozens of first-generation learners and students facing barriers will acquire new skills to becomehighly qualified professionals ready for high quality, advanced manufacturing careers in aninnovation-intensive industry. It will create the only publicly-accessible Landing Gear Innovation Laboratory, acompetitive advantage to Canada. By incorporating electrification, light-weighting, and additivemanufacturing, the next generation landing gear will reduce carbon footprints. Our proposal intersects withgovernment, industry, and college priorities. It leverages existing investments and our impactful record toaccelerate industry-led innovation while benefiting society and our planet.

航空航天行业对加拿大至关重要。它在2015年为经济贡献了211,000多个增值工作。加拿大航空航天制造业的研发量超过5倍，与制造业的平均水平相同。Worldwide，在安大略省制造的所有商业客机中，有40％的商业客机部署起落架。即便如此，该行业面临的挑战包括：（a）开发创新技术； （b）克服技术吸收的障碍；（c）培训劳动力以支持增长。为了帮助安大略省的航空航天行业，我们拟议的研究计划使用以行业为主导的供应链模型来开发主要在加拿大制造的下一代起落架技术。 Bombardier航空航天，Safran Landing Systems和Lower Tiersmall/中型公司将共同开发以减少技术吸收的障碍。他们拥有经验，专业知识，设施，关系和认证，以符合全球法规并将随后的技术商业化。在省和联邦政府的支持下，我们的学院还在多伦多的唐斯景公园（Toronto's Downsview Park）建造了7000万美元的AerospaceCampus，这是前德哈维兰工厂。在2018年秋季开放时，该校园将使我们的航空和航空航天培训计划的当前能力达到解决行业劳动力生长和预期退休的能力。我们的研究计划将为超过500名学生提供直接的体验学习。数十名第一代学习者和面临障碍的学生将获得新的技能，使其成为高质量的高质量，高级制造业职业的高素质专业人士。它将为加拿大创造唯一的公共访问起落架创新实验室，竞争优势。通过融合电气化，轻度加权和添加剂制造，下一代起落架将减少碳足迹。我们的建议与政府，行业和大学优先事项相交。它利用了现有的投资和我们有影响力的记录，以使社会和我们的星球受益，以造成行业领导的创新。
