whitepaper Aerospace Dynamics International Uses NX CAM to Speed NC Programming for Large, Complex Parts Produced on High-Speed, Five-Axis Machines2007-11-01 siemens
  Aerospace Dynamics International (ADI) manufactures large components such as aircraft wing spars and bulkheads and panels for the space shuttle's external fuel tanks. Aerospace Dynamics International no longer has time to code intricate machine motion by hand, yet it still needs the control that hand-programming provides. The installation of seven seats of NX CAM gave ADI the combination - fast programming and complete motion control - needed to meet customers' tight delivery schedules. NX CAM's developer, Siemens PLM Software, pioneered High-Speed Machining (HSM) technology, working in conjunction with machine tool and controller manufacturers. For jobs that require HSM on five-axis machines, NX CAM has become ADI's software of choice.

whitepaper Pratt & Whitney's Very Visible, Highly Successful Engineering Data Transformation2007-11-01 siemens
  Pratt & Whitney (P&W) has built more than half of the 34,000 commercial aircraft engines in service today and more than 40,000 military engines. To meet ambitious cost and cycle time reductions targeted by top management, Pratt & Whitney's engineering organization needed to revitalize its handling of product data. Rather than develop the new CM system in house, P&W decided to evaluate commercial product lifecycle management (PLM) software. By that time, the company had standardized on Unigraphics (now called NX) as its product development system and replaced multiple proprietary Configuration Management (CM) methods with single system built on Teamcenter software; establish NX software models as sole product description.
