Manufacturers' new orders for defense aircraft parts and components
Defense Aircraft Parts Orders (ADAPNO) measures orders for aircraft components, subassemblies, and replacement parts used in military aviation. This includes everything from engines and avionics to structural components and weapons systems integration.
Parts orders complement aircraft orders and include maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) activities. A healthy parts order book indicates both new production activity and sustained support for existing aircraft fleets. This metric can signal the health of the broader defense aerospace supply chain.
