RMCI, Inc. supported the Aerospace Industries Association (AIA) in their efforts to modernize all existing National Aerospace Standards. The NAS series is best known for its state-of-the-art, high strength, precision fasteners. In addition to all types of screws, nuts, and rivets, NAS define high pressure hose, electrical connectors, splices and terminations, rod end bearings, and many other types of hardware and components. RMCI modernized over 670 NAS standards during the course of the project.
As part of the document modernization process, RMCI performed document research, updated AutoCAD drawings, and modernized the wording and notes in these important documents. Once the documents were completed, AIA sent them out for balloting to the National Aerospace Standards Committee (NASC), which is comprised of representatives from leading manufacturers and suppliers of civil, military, and business aircraft, helicopters, unmanned aircraft systems, space systems, aircraft engines, missiles, materiel and related components, equipment, services and information technology. RMCI addressed any comments from these representatives, and coordinated with the commenters directly to ensure that any errors in the standards were corrected. AIA published these standards once they received full approval from the NASC.
