Encouraging signs of a commercial aerospace rebound seem to abound. Airline traffic in Asia, Europe and North America is up, and interest in Boeing's new 7E7 is strong. The number of newer aircraft in storage is declining, and business aviation continues to improve modestly. The more immediate opportunities already are at hand for companies servicing the aftermarket — companies such as Rockwell Collins Inc., Goodrich Corp., Honeywell International Inc. and United Technologies Corp., and among lower-tier players, Esterline Technologies Corp. and Moog Inc. The rationale is that as more parked aircraft are put to work again and as flying hours increase, the spare parts business is sure to rise. Rockwell appears to be especially well-positioned. The company derives 42% of its sales from commercial aviation — second only to Goodrich's 63% — with 21% tied to demand for aftermarket products and services.
