This report covers a major issue for policymakers: whether the United States can sustain its preeminent position in aerospace, given the intentions of numerous foreign manufacturers to enter the small commercial jet aircraft segment by 2016.

Seminar paper from the year 2015 in the subject Politics - Topic: Globalization, Political Economics, grade: 2,3, University of Applied Sciences Essen, language: English, abstract: This assignment gives a general overview of the large civil aircraft market leaders: Airbus and Boeing. Further, the historical backgrounds will be analyzed. The assignment examines the duopoly-position considering the economic backgrounds. A number of key issues arise especially from Boeing’s side. Boeing lost his dominant role on the market. Furthermore, Airbus delivered very high innovative technological standards, by keeping the costs low. It did not take long time until Boeing has responded by blaming Airbus to get subsidies from the government. All this led to the biggest dispute in history and has been a particular challenge for the World Trade Organization (WTO). The results of this assignment point out, that there are new entrants on the aircraft market, for example China and Russia. Instead of negotiating for years about subsidies, Airbus and Boeing should concentrate on improving their technological standards. The best way to summing up, is to say, that it is not a competition between aircraft industries, it is a competition between the world’s largest governments: The European Union and the United States.

Scientific Study from the year 2007 in the subject Business economics - Operations Research, grade: 1,0, University of Southern California (Business Faculty), course: Strategic Management, 64 entries in the bibliography, language: English, comment: -Great conclusion and recommendation - spot on! -Impressive list of references and good sources -Overall: Excellent report -Other thoroughly enjoyed reading such a well-written and well researched in-depth report., abstract: Executive Summary: The purpose of this report is to provide a Strategic Management Report with detailed strategic analyses of the dominant civil aircraft manufacturers Airbus and Boeing.The discussion main part of this report is separated into internal and external analyses, which are reasoned in greater detail and supported with reasonable graphs and tables in the attached Appendices. Finally, conclusions are drawn as to which is the more strategic savvy and which company has the more sustainable enterprise; and there is a recommendation given in which company a potential investor should rather invest in. Airbus and Boeing are having a neck-and-neck race in the aircraft industry for jets over 100 seats between Airbus and Boeing about the market leadership. After Airbus overtook its rival the first time in 2001 in terms of aircraft order and delivery, it stayed in front the last years until Boeing got back on top in 2006. The aircraft manufacturing industry is constantly growing, a global market and had a size of US$ 63 billion revenues in 2006. It is characterized by high entry barriers and investment in R&D and by a duopoly with Airbus and Boeing having a market share of 86% for aircrafts over 100 seats. At the moment Airbus is in weaker financial position than its competitor. Boeing had an average year in 2006 with a moderate and good profitability, whereas Airbus is not in the red, but it is remarkable that the company had a bad year caused by the production and delivery problems with the A38

Most countries aspire to have a civil aircraft industry, but even in the best of times, success at civil aircraft manufacturing is difficult. Technological barriers, governments, and geopolitical considerations are only the beginning of the challenges faced by those aspiring to join the industry. In fact, only four companies in the world (Airbus, Boeing, Bombardier, and Embraer) have mastered manufacturing the extremely complex machines that are civil aircraft. In Entering the Civil Aircraft Industry: Business Realities at the Technological Frontier, Dr. Dean Roberts provides an insider’s perspective of this fascinating, multifaceted, and challenging industry using his more than thirty years of experience and interest in all aspects of the field. Using in-depth case studies, he examines the interplay of industrial policy, high technology, globalization, and business strategy on the field of civil jet aircraft manufacturing, seeking out the reasons for policy successes—and failures.

Deregulation, higher costs, foreign competition, and financial risks are causing profound changes in civil aviation. These trends are reviewed along with growing federal involvement in trade, technology transfer, technological developments in airframes and propulsion, and military-civil aviation relationships. Policy options to preserve the strength and effectiveness of civil aircraft manufacturing are offered.
