Keeping Current on Status, Outlook of Aircraft Market

Authored by Richard Aboulafia, Teal Group's World Military & Civil Aircraft Briefing is a monthly-updated information service consisting of reports that track the status and outlook of the world's aircraft programs and markets. Each program report includes information describing the aircraft – designating the agency responsible for development or purchase of the plane, an explanation of the various subsystems, and the companies involved in supplying the components (primes as well as subcontractors); an overview giving a brief history and current status of the program; and, finally, a 10-year funding forecast (U.S. programs only), and 10-year production forecast (all programs) is included. In addition, a Teal Group Evaluation is provided, which explains the rationale of the forecasts.

Market overview reports contain a compilation of the production forecasts for a given market, along with resulting market shares for aircraft programs and manufacturers. This information is given in both units and current dollars. Program reports are organized in sections by mission (e.g., fighter/attack or transports) and within sections, alphabetically by manufacturer/model. Market overviews are contained together in their own section.

Most of the Western world's aircraft programs are covered in World Military & Civil Aircraft Briefing. These include planes under development, in production, or out of production, but still in significant service.

Each report is updated at least once per year. In addition, if a program is particularly active, the report may be updated numerous times during the course of the year.

Reports are mailed to subscribers in 12 monthly supplements during a year-long subscription period. For more information visit: tealgroup.com/order/orderform.pdf
