Aerospace Standards In 2010, SAE International’s Aerospace Standards unit provided service to industry with a vision for the future. A relevant collection of technical standards is crucial for the aerospace industry and will continue to be so in the future. In 2010, SAE International increased its global role in supporting the aerospace industry with an eye toward industry needs in 2020. SAE International built upon the world’s largest collection of consensus aerospace standards — more than 7,000.
