So, what really is going on in the commercial aerospace industry? 2011 will probably turn out to be a record production year and it is already the second best year ever in terms of the aircraft order intake. However, despite the enormous backlog, our figures show that some aircraft and engine programs currently have far smaller backlogs than at the start of the year. The industry may be booming, but Aerospace Market News shows in very great detail where the weak spots are.

This is an industry report for manufacturing companies. Every month we provide a detailed analysis of trends in the industry, backed up by the latest production rate and order book figures for large commercial jets, regional aircraft, general aviation, business aircraft and commercial engine programs. If you are specifically interested in the jet engine industry, have a look at our sister report "Aircraft Engines".
