How many total member companies did the Aerospace Industries Association have at the beginning of 2005?

• A. 278
• B. 96
• C. 182
• D. 468

Answer: (A)

The number of member companies at the start of 2005 is the published count of corporate members the association reported for that date. That year the Aerospace Industries Association lists 278 member companies, reflecting the breadth of OEMs, suppliers, and service firms represented by the organization at that time. This figure is about the size of the association’s membership then, and aligns with the documented membership roll. The other numbers would indicate a notably smaller or larger membership than what was recorded, so they don’t fit the historical record for the beginning of 2005.
