China launches own aircraft engine-maker to rival the West
China already makes its own planes, but has struggled for decades to develop engines that meet global requirements. (www.bbc.com) Mehr...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
I worry about things manufactured in China. Their approach to quality control is that it's a test that has to be passed (by whatever means) rather than a measure of the quality of their product (remember the melamine added to dog food and infant formula to artificially boost the protein value).
China already owns almost every major American General Aviation manufacturer. If you're buying a new Cessna, Beechcraft (both now Textron), Cirrus, or Mooney, you're buying a Chinese product now. Chinese are also buying up aviation parts and service companies like Continental Engines, Superior Air parts, Thielert diesel engines and others. They are actively working to take over not only US aviation companies, but European as well. Bad Juju.
