Time to talk about China....

Specifically, General Aviation in China.

Recently, Hawker Beechcraft sold its business jet and general aviation operations to a Chinese aerospace manufacturer - Superior Aviation Beijing Company, Limited. This is not the only U.S. general aviation manufacturing company to utilize China for support.

Additionally, China's general aviation industry, after being somewhat nonexistent, is in a period of rapid growth.

For this week's assignment, answer the following questions.   Include at least four references in your blog.

1) In addition to Hawker Beechcraft, discuss other U.S. general aviation manufacturers with ties to China. Explain the details - who and what is the relationship, why did the relationship develop, and what are the ramifications to the U.S.  general aviation industry.

2) What are the reasons for this "rapid growth" in the Chinese general aviation industry?

3) What is the relationship between these U.S. general aviation manufacturers with ties to China, and the growth in the Chinese general aviation industry?

4) Most importantly, what does all of the above mean for career opportunities in the U.S. general aviation sector?
