The newly acquired standards will be managed through SAE International’s London office. Many of the ADS standards are used on Rolls-Royce aircraft engines, as well as Airbus and military aircraft.
The SAE ITC's mission is to build industry infrastructure tailored to the respective technology, market and industry member groups while satisfying time horizons and providing the responsible resources to enable achievement of industry objectives.
