The US has an aviation industry but there is basically a duopoly in aviation. Of course, there are Embraer in Brazil and Bombardier in Canada and some Russian and Ukrainian manufacturers, but basically it's Boeing and Airbus.
The funny thing? Both of these mega-manufacturers have component suppliers all over the world and some Airbuses are assembled in the US and Boeing wings come from Japan. It's all about global trade.
Want our national airline to buy 100 777-300s? Give us a piece of the action. It's the modern way.
China buys a lot of airplanes.
