Though there are hundreds of aircraft manufacturers throughout the world today, the field of aircraft manufacturing is highly competitive, and very volatile. Aircraft manufacturers must juggle the ever-changing demands of the marketplace, and the constantly evolving technologies of aircraft design and construction. A number of manufacturers that have flourished for decades eventually succumbed to competitive pressures or changing markets, and either ceased to exist or became absorbed by other companies. On the other hand, some companies that have been in operation almost since the dawn of flight are still thriving, and are among the leading manufacturers in the world. Well take a look here at some of the larger and more significant manufacturers in the world, focusing upon their more successful or pioneering designs, both current and past. |
