Description

China has moved over time from absolute reliance on other countries for military aviation technology to a position where a more diverse array of strategies can be pursued. This study identifies potential aviation technology development and procurement strategies, presents a general model of the options available to developing countries, and applies that model to explain Chinese procurement and aviation technology acquisition efforts over the last 60 years. The model articulates three main technology procurement avenues: purchase (buy), indigenous development (build), and espionage (steal), and three sub-avenues: reverse engineering, co-production, and co-development. Illustrations. This is a print on demand report.
