Summary:

Examines recent challenges to the Boeing-Airbus duopoly in civil aircraft, and considers whether the U.S. can maintain its lead in aerospace industry, in light of foreign manufacturer plans to enter light commercial aircraft sector. Describes growing demand for narrow-body aircraft, financial characteristics of aircraft development, changing economics of small commercial jets, and aircraft investments and forecasting. Assesses whether Boeing-Airbus rivalry has left the small aircraft market open to new international competitors; profiles new single-aisle, narrow-body aircraft market entrants; and discusses Boeing and Airbus responses to competition.
