I don't know about aerospace, but I believe that any success rate
over 50% is very good when you're dealing with proposals. I know
from personal experience that it was extremely difficult to maintain
a 55% success rate over a year. I've heard that most consulting
companies only win about 30 - 40% of the proposals they send out,
which makes proposal writing a very stressful and unpopular
activity at most companies.
