Abstract:

This report responds to your request that we review the aeronautics research and development R and D activities of Asian countries. More specifically, we are providing information on 1 the approaches these Asian nations use to develop their aeronautics industries, 2 the level of aeronautics development each country has achieved, and 3 the implications of this development for the U.S. aeronautics industry. This report represents an amalgamation of many pieces of data obtained from dozens of U.S. and foreign sources. However, because of the nature of much of the data, we were unable to verify its accuracy or make an independent assessment of the extent and progress of each countrys R and D efforts.
