Chinese Investment In U.S. Aviation

Abstract

The U.S. aerospace and defense-manufacturing sector is a major contributor to the U.S. economy. It accounts for an estimated 13 percent of total U.S. manufacturing and, in 2015, it generated a $67 billion trade surplus for the United States. Roughly half of that is civil aviation, which is an open, globally competitive market. Boeings large commercial aircraft (LCA) is a major component of civil aviation exports, but U.S. companies are also integral elements of global supply chains supporting regional jet (RJ) manufacturers Bombardier and Embraer. The United States is also a major manufacturer of and market for general aviation (GA) equipment such as business jets, small aircraft, and helicopters.
