摘要

The study addresses one of the most important areas in the development of theRussian military industrial complex, the Civil and Military Aircraft Industry. To give the reader a better understanding of how the industry takes the leap from a state-owned, domestically-oriented manufacturing to a transformed and slimmed production under harsh market-oriented circumstances, a historial perspective is provided. Dr Kogan then examines the status and plans for the most important actors, the MIG MAPO, Suchoi, the Financial Industrial Group RAC and the Transnational FIG Ilyshion. The helicopter design bureau Mil is also included due to its importance domestically as well as in exports. The author scrutinizes the cooperation within CIS and with foreign firms, especially French ones. Because of the its importance to transport aircraft production in CIS, the Ukrainian Antonov complex is also focused on.
