REFLECTOR: China buys Teledyne Continental Motors

[Velocity]

Better materials Please I have been in manufacturing for 20 plus years And I have never  seen better material come from any 
other country than ours.  There standards are far different than ours. There material control is almost none existent.   I hope the best for 
the company but please do not insult the use manufacturing. Our stuff cost more because it is better. Pencil pushers like to say 
that is saves money but it rarely does it cost more or we have to lower our standards to except it. Sorry but this is fact.

 I have never heard any one going to harbor  Freight for better quality have you?

  Or they just might make more modern ones with better materials, and less expensive machining!

  Nice... there goes the quality
  Who knows how 'cheap' they will make the engines now.
  Like when they said they were using "no lead paint"
  Guess they'll start making tin engines calling them strong.
  I will not be buying any continentals with my bottom in the seat.

      China Lays Out Its GA Plan
       


      The recent buying spree of U.S. aviation companies by the Chinese appears to be a coordinated effort to ensure the country cashes in on the phased liberalization of airspace restrictions. People's Daily, the official organ of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, reported on Tuesday that state-owned AVIC International Holding Corporation recently completed its acquisition of Mobile, Ala.-based Teledyne Continental Motors and the purchase "will make AVIC International better prepared for the burgeoning general aviation market in the country." It also touts the pending sale of Cirrus Aircraft to China Aviation Industry General Aircraft Company (CAIGA) "will greatly enhance CAIGA's production capacity, and help it meet the surging demand for general aviation aircraft as China looks to further open up its low-altitude airspace." It's worth noting that CAIGA was formed in May of 2010, not long before reports began circulating that Cirrus was being sold to the Chinese. The deal was formally announced Feb. 28 and must still be approved by U.S. regulators.


      People's Daily unveiled the timeline for the opening up of low-level airspace in China. It quotes Li Jiaxiang, director of the Civil Aviation Administration of China, as saying the plan is to phase in the airspace liberalization and have all airspace below 3,000 meters open by 2015. The plan was laid out pretty clearly in the story. "The development of the whole industry will be accelerated through cooperating with foreign companies and introducing advanced technologies to develop China's own products and intellectual property rights," said Wang Xia, deputy president of the General Aviation College under the Civil Aviation University of China. "As foreign companies have limited knowledge of the domestic general aviation policies and operating system, domestic enterprises still have certain advantages. However, the advantages are temporary. We must advance with the times and continue to develop to maintain this advantage."
