    GLOBAL AEROSPACE COMPANIES

    In the last few years, the aviation industry has experienced many amazing developments. The demand for air travel has increased due to factors like falling jet fuel prices, changing global demographics, and rising income in emerging economies. Over the past ten years, there has been a sharp increase in the annual number of persons boarding aeroplanes. Aircraft manufacture has increased as a result. Technological developments also allow for improvements in aircraft efficiency, safety, noise reduction, and cabin design, all of which drive rising demand. In response to these developments, commercial aircraft makers have created increasingly sophisticated planes. Let’s examine the top 10 aerospace firms in the world in more detail after that.
