These SMEs focus on advanced, small-batch production capabilities in both metallurgy and composite materials. The overall aerospace and defense (A&D) industry has total revenues of US$3.7 billion, representing a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.1% since 2010. The A&D industry is expected to grow at a 0.8% CAGR in the near-future, with the industry expected to reach a value of US$3.9 billion by the end of 2019. Recently, civil aerospace has been the Belgian A&D industry’s most lucrative segment, representing over 70% of the industry's total market. Belgium’s defense industry is fully privatized and centered on manufacturing components, subassemblies and small arms rather than full weapon systems and platforms. As a small nation, Belgium cannot maintain a large defense industry based on internal requirements, and instead, relies on external components and subcontractor work on major defense programs. Belgium’s military, similarly to other countries in Europe, is aging. The average soldier is 43 years old and the number of soldiers has declined from 40,000 in 2006 to 32,000 in 2016. Due to this decline, Belgium is streamlining its forces to no longer have a separate army, navy and air force, but rather a unified defense entity with a land, sea and air component served by a joint medical component. Additionally, Belgium has developed the Belgian Soldier Transformation (BEST) program integrating the latest technologies, including smart textiles, enhanced integrated and scalable communication, personal optics and global positioning.

These changes should allow foreign companies to manufacture small scale aircraft parts, including aircraft engine components and bearings, and drive foreign M&A and direct investment activities. In 2016, China’s defense budget was the second largest in the world, as it rose 6.2% to US$192.0 billion. China’s military expenditure as a percentage of GDP is only 1.9%, which is low compared to other countries like India (2.3%), the US (3.3%) and Russia (5.4%), indicating additional capacity to increase military spending. The President of China, Xi Jinping, reduced armed forces personnel by approximately 13.0% (300,000 people) earlier this year as part of China’s ongoing restructuring to modernize its military with robust cyber warfare and joint operation capabilities. The commercial aerospace sector has also seen rapid growth, and China’s domestic aviation market is expected to become the world’s largest by 2035, surpassing North America and Europe with 1.9 trillion revenue passenger kilometers projected by 2035. Within the next 20 years, 6,810 new aircraft would be required to meet this growing travel demand. Domestic and global demand for travel has caused the country to enter the commercial aircraft manufacturing business itself in order to reduce dependency on Boeing and Airbus. Chinese state-owned aircraft manufacture, COMAC, plans to produce a 158 seat sing- aisle aircraft, with 570 order commitments received from 23 customers. COMAC believes that its new aircraft, the COMAC C919, has a market potential of nearly US$100 billion, and additionally has entered into a joint venture with UAC in Russia to develop a wide-body jet, the COMAC C929.

  • AVIC AG600 "Kunlong"
    This production list is presented to you by the editorial team of "Soviet Transports" - current to the beginning of January 2021. Additions and corrections are welcome at [email protected] AVIC AG600 "Kunlong" The AG600 (Jiaolong 600) is a large amphibian powered by four Zhuzhou WJ6 turboprop engines. Development started in 2009 and construction of the prototype in 2014. The first flight took place on 24 December 2017. The aircraft can be used for fire-fighting (it can collect 12 tonnes of water in 20 seconds) and SAR, but also for transport (carrying 50 passengers over up to 5,000 km). The latter capability could give the type strategic value in the South China Sea, which has been subject to various territorial disputes. According to Chinese sources, there were already 17 orders for the type by early 2015.

  • China's Commercial Aircraft Take-Off
    Viewpoint China’s commercial aircraft take-off Arthur D. Little looks at the recent development of the Chinese commercial aircraft industry For the global aeronautical industry, China represents the largest commercial opportunity of the coming 10 years, and the biggest competitive threat for the decades to follow. Arthur D. Little reviews the development of the Chinese aeronautical industry, which recently accelerated with the creation of COMAC and AECC, and identifies the key aspects to be closely monitored by Western players. 1. China wants to leverage its growing domestic The Chinese government decided to structure a domestic demand to become a global leader in commercial commercial-aircraft manufacturing industry capable of reducing airplanes its dependency on foreign suppliers and, in the long term, of competing with established OEMs on a global scale. The Chinese commercial aircraft market represents a 1 trillion US$ opportunity over the next 20 years Thanks to massive governmental support, the Chinese aeronautical industry is progressively emerging, The Chinese aeronautical market is booming. centered on AVIC and COMAC According to Airbus and Boeing, China will account for 17% of Between the 1950s and the early 1980s, the Chinese the 40,000 global airplane deliveries expected during the next 20 aeronautical industry mainly focused on the development years.

  • The C919 Author: Alex Cosaro Published: April 5, 2018
    China’s Trump Card: The C919 Author: Alex Cosaro Published: April 5, 2018 Brief: In this edition of Morten Beyer & Agnew’s Insight Series, the Valuation Team analyzes the introduction of the Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China’s (COMAC’s) C919 as a competitive aircraft in the narrowbody market. While the C919 demonstrates the capability to serve the Chinese market, mba examines the aircraft’s potential to break the Airbus and Boeing duopoly particularly in the wake of China’s recent tariff announcement. Key Concepts: The C919’s operating performance falls short of the Boeing 737’s and A320’s particularly in regards to range. COMAC faces barriers to obtaining type certification for the C919, but is forecasted to attain this certification by 2020. Additionally, recent developments show that western certification for the C919 is not as far-fetched as once believed. COMAC will face challenges in developing an efficient maintenance and spare parts distribution network for the C919. Marketing the C919 to non-Chinese markets will be an uphill battle for COMAC. The recently announced 25% tariff on aircraft imported from the US will potentially strengthen the C919’s Chinese market share and will effectively be a win for both COMAC and Airbus. The COMAC C919 China has long been recognized as an engine for growth in the aviation industry. Its airlines are rapidly expanding and demand for air travel continues to skyrocket, for both domestic and international trips. Not wanting to cede the entirety of the increased demand for aircraft to Airbus and Boeing, the Chinese Government launched the Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China (COMAC) in 2008.
