Many US aircraft
exists in China. Besides Hawker Beechcraft, another U S general
aviation manufacturer
with ties to China is Cessna Aircraft. Cessna is a Kansas based company. The
relationship is a joint venture between the Kansas based company and a Chinese
state-owned aviation corporation to produce midsize Cessna business jets.

What are the
reasons for the rapid growth in the Chinese general aviation?
China
is experiencing a rapid growth in general aviation. China is now the second
largest aviation country in terms of transport volume, averaging more than
15%. This rapid growth is due to a number
of reasons. Since 1970s China moved from a closed, centrally planned system to
a more market-oriented one, playing a major global role. By 2010, China had
become the world’s largest exporter. Another reason has to do with the sheer
number of people in China. Passengers using aircraft has quadrupled over the
years. Another reason is attributed to the decaying economic conditions in
Europe due to economic crisis. With rapid economic growth, the Chinese
government has been able to extend cooperation to western countries –Honeywell,
Rockwell, and other aircraft companies to work with the in consultation.

Relationship
between US general manufacturers with ties to China
Although
China aviation is on the rise, it is still vastly underdeveloped. To ensure
quality products, China must get technical and sophisticated products from the
United States. As a result of this, the relationship between the two counties
is joint ventures via General Electric, Goodrich, Eaton Corporation, Honeywell,
Rockwell and others.

What does all of
this mean for career opportunities in the US general aviation sector?
It
means jobs! And more jobs, particularly in the areas of airport design and
construction companies, general aviation aircraft, parts assembly, repairs,
manufacturing entities, supplies, and small niche parts manufacturers.
Reference
I agree that the growth of the industry will create more jobs. Also, the growth is in China. The U.S. has not seen growth numbers similar to China since the 1920's and the 1950's. I like how your blog did not demonize China.
ReplyDeleteMore jobs in the US or China? What happens when China has the technology to manufacture these parts? Another relationship I have not seen yet is Apple. iPhone - designed in US, assembled in China.
ReplyDeleteIn addition to economic growth, what is another reason for GA growth in China?
ReplyDeleteWhat is the relationship like for the companies that are partnering with Chinese firms, such as Honeywell, Goodrich, General Electric and Rockwell?
ReplyDeleteThe jobs that will be created will mostly only be available to those who are willing to move to them.
ReplyDeleteIts nice that this is building jobs for other aspects in aviation other than just pilot jobs!
