What we now know ...

Using a combination of Jane’s content we have built up a picture of the military aircraft market and the main suppliers and the capabilities of their platforms.

We used:

Jane's Markets Forecast to view awarded opportunities by platform and country within the Military Aircraft market. We then analysed total programme value by supplier to understand the competitive landscape.
Taking AVIC as an example, we used Jane's Defence Industry and Markets to view company structure and products.
Jane's Defence Procurement enabled us to follow developments of the J-10 procurement programme which is linked to AVIC.
Finally, we used Jane's Defence Equipment and Technology to understand and compare the specifications and capabilities of the J-10 and F-35.
