"One Chinese company, however, is designing, developing and manufacturing
composite parts for commercial aircraft completely on its own from start to finish.
For example, they have solely designed, developed and currently produce an
aircraft frame out of carbon composite materials. This is well above the build to
print level foreign companies and joint ventures are currently providing to the
commercial aircraft sector in China."
"The Chinese military is already producing composite parts at the build to spec
level. The demands on the military side also do not coincide with the
commercial aircraft specification requirements. The Glass transition temperature
required for military aircraft is necessarily higher than that for commercial
aircraft."
