    These 7 Chinese companies each topped $5B in defense sales — and could rival American firms

    By: Aaron Mehta WASHINGTON — With China now the second-largest spender on defense in the world, Chinese companies are logically going to rank among the largest defense firms. But quantifying that number has proven incredibly difficult thanks to the opaque nature of both government spending and the firms themselves. Now, a London-based think tank has concluded that seven Chinese firms would rank among the top 20 defense companies in the world, each breaking $5 billion in defense revenues — a proportion that rivals any one nation outside the U.S. Lucie Beraud-Sudreau and Meia Nouwens, two researchers with the International Institute for Strategic Studies, looked at eight key defense firms from China — the China Aviation Industry Corporation (AVIC), China Electronics Technology Enterprise (CETC), China North Industries Group Corporation (NORINCO), China South Industries Group Corporation (CSGC), China State Shipbuilding Corporation (CSSC), China Shipbuilding Industry Corporation (CSIC), China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation (CASC), and China Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation (CASIC). The researchers looked at the largest defense firms and key subsidiaries, excluding a pair of nuclear-focused Chinese companies, classifying each as defense- or civilian-focused. Then they used the differentiation to calculate how much of each company's total revenues was derived from defense-related sales.

    Collins Aerospace wins T-X subsystem contracts

    Beth Stevenson, London - Jane's Defence Weekly Boeing has contracted Collins Aerospace to provide the Aces 5 ejection seat and an integrated landing gear system for the T-X trainer aircraft. Aces 5 provides passive head and neck protection, arm and leg flail prevention, and a load-compensating catapult rocket that varies its thrust based on the weight of the user, Collins says. The landing gear includes structure, actuation, dressings, hydraulics, and wheels and brakes, and is designed to lower maintenance costs while improving operational performance. “Collins Aerospace is honoured to be a supplier for Boeing in support of the US Air Force's next-generation trainer programme and proud to provide a host of integral content, including our Aces 5 ejection seat and fully integrated landing gear system,” John Fyfe, air force programmes director for Collins Aerospace, said. https://www.janes.com/article/86144/collins-aerospace-wins-t-x-subsystem-contracts
