Even the most exciting new materials must buy their way into applications in demanding industries such as aerospace.  Performance, cost, reliability, sustainability, and time to market must all converge.  Going from invention and design through scale up and production demands an integrated scientifically based approach that extends to manufacturing.  Transitioning a discovery through the �valley of death� is challenged by complex requirements and interacting systems, ever expanding options, and even by new manufacturing methods.  The UTC approach to manufacturing encompasses physics based modeling, agile methods, integrated computational modeling, and virtual design optimization.
