THE CHANGING RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE AIR FORCE AND THE AEROSPACE INDUSTRY,

Abstract

An effort is made to identify the recent trends which are fundamentally altering the nature of the Air Forceaerospace industry relationship, to indicate basic dilem mas which are the roots of current difficulties in the relationship, and to suggest alternatives available for maintaining the efficiency of the relationship. The report is addressed to all those in the Air Force and industry, and to those students of economics and Government, who are concerned with the fundamental character of the relationship. Some of the pro-posals contained herein are admittedly unconventional and controversial, but many of the problems may in fact call for unconventional solutions. In any event, the main purpose is to stimulate thought and discussion about major Air Force-industry problems rather than provide set answers.
