What does this (below) mean ?
Answers:
I can't follow that do shelves and houses have to do with airplanes?
it means they want to get everything from someone or somewhere else. they don't want to do it at their building anymore.
research and development for new products, as well as engineers to create and design them cost major bucks. they don't want to spend the money if they can pick up the parts off a shelf somewhere and just use them instead... let someone else foot the bill for all of the research, etc. and then you just use their product.
software is still engineered "in house" because you need proprietary programs for your style of aircraft or whatever you are building.
