Abstract
This thesis explores the topic of the development of alternate parts for the aerospace industry, drawing on industry examples to demonstrate methods and approaches and the benefits to firms engaged in these activities. I will explore reverse engineering techniques, obstacles, and the role regulations play in the development of alternate parts. I will also demonstrate that reverse engineering is no longer a back room secret activity, yet instead a innovative engineering discipline that if matured and leveraged properly can provide valuable benefits outside of alternate part development.
