In 2011, China announced its five-year plan to spend a quarter of a trillion dollars to jumpstart the next phase of its aerospace industry. The country currently has many airports under construction, a growing workforce of engineers and assembly workers, and recently acquired two American companies specializing in small propeller planes.
