Beechcraft made in China
Hawker Beech has been sold to a Chinese aviation company. My guess is that, in
ten years, there won't be anything American about Beech except the name, if even that is retained. |

Given the way aircraft are certified, that isn't very likely unless they recertify all the existing aircraft, which would be very stupid and the Chinese are not stupid. And there is still Hawker Beechcraft Defense Co., which is not effected by the sale of the GA division. Beech is no more going to be "Chinese" than Budweiser, Michelob, and Corona Extra have become Belgian-Brazilian. |

Airbus builds aircraft in China and will soon do so in the US. Has
certification been an impediment? On 7/9/2012 10:00 PM, wrote: Mxsmanic wrote: Hawker Beech has been sold to a Chinese aviation company.

It's definitely going to be a problem. This is the same country that allows what is essentially toxic waste in baby formula. But most conservative Americans buy the Republican line and won't really care about all the jobs and companies going over to China until they see their first Chinese-made car racing in NASCAR. By then it will be too late. Chinese technology is as good as anywhere else. From what I've seen of Chinese built aircraft they're as good as any.... Any country in the world has its rogues |

Speaking of technology: many experts think the next footprints on the moon will not only leave the "made in China' imprints in the dust, but will be worn by Chinese astronauts. They are graduating thousands of space scientists and aeronautical engineers every year, and they all all working on state funded programs. A little of that brainpower could improve a general aviation airplane. Friday, July 13, 2012 4:29:41 PM UTC-4, george wrote: Robert Barker wrote: > It's definitely going to be a problem.

It's definitely going to be a problem. Really? What problems have been demonstrated with Airbus planes produced in China??? Please do elaborate with you knowledge. This is the same country that allows what is essentially toxic waste in baby formula. The whole country? Why don't you point out that the USA FDA last year admitted that chicken meat sold in USA contains arsenic? Or is arsenic ok only if it is American arsenic? But most conservative Americans buy the Republican line and won't really care about all the jobs and companies going over to China until they see their first Chinese-made car racing in NASCAR. By then it will be too late. Oh I see. So you have no facts, no information, no analysis. You just wanted to make a stupid unsupported comment about Republicans. Glad to see where this newsgroup has gone.... "Carolyn Peters" wrote in message ... Airbus builds aircraft in China and will soon do so in the US. Has certification been an impediment?

Yep. The modern Republicans are attacking education. The dumber they make
us, the less informed they keep us, the more likely we are to vote Republican. Republicans of 40 years ago would be SCREAMING at what the current leaders are doing to their party...
