The past 12 calamitous months have seen such a shake-up in the sector that there are now virtually only two major manufacturers left, although that number could be swelled as the Chinese and Russians pursue their own programmes. Our A-Z of the regionals includes details of these projects, plus data and specifications for every other aircraft with fewer than 100 seats planned, operating or in production, from the Aerocourier single utility to the Yak-40. TARGETING Nowhere to hide 38 Precision-guided weapons are becoming more and more precise as technology advances - but enemy counter tactics to avoid the missiles also progress equally quickly. Now combat experience gained in the Balkans, where mobility and short dwell times made targets difficult to destroy, has led to the development of Affordable Moving Surface Target Engagement, a programme which harnesses the best weapons and intelligence systems now available into a network that is able to track a nominated target until a weapon is in place to engage it. But can it defeat bad weather, the cover of darkness as well as the speed and manoeuvrability of enemy ground vehicles? www.flightinternational.com FLIGHT INTERNATIONAL 12-18 NOVEMBER 2002 1
