✈️ Is China building the next aerospace superpower — or just chasing sky-high hype?

For decades, Boeing and Airbus have dominated the skies. Now China is determined to break into the duopoly with its own jetmaker, COMAC.

In my latest video, I break down:

- China’s post-pandemic surge in aviation
- How its leasing giants are reshaping global fleets
- Why new direct flights mean so much to the Chinese diaspora
- And the big obstacles that still stand in the way

The turbulence is real. The story is unfolding now.

🚀 From Battlefield to Boarding Gate ✈️

Did you know many of today’s aviation technologies—from GPS to composites—originated in defense?

In his latest exclusive video, Aircraft Value News Editor-in-Chief John Persinos breaks down one of the most surprising partnerships in aviation: L3Harris teaming up with Joby Aviation to develop a military version of Joby’s VTOL air taxi.

👉 Why it matters:

Defense innovation is shaping the commercial aircraft you fly every day.

Military budgets are influencing aircraft values and lease rates.

The future of autonomy, hypersonics, and advanced materials is closer than you think.

✈️ Would you fly on a plane with no pilots?
Autonomous aviation is no longer science fiction—it’s here. From military drones to AI copilots, the future of pilotless passenger flights is closer than you think.

In his new video, John Persinos examines:
✅ The $28B autonomous aircraft market
✅ Breakthroughs in AI, UAVs, and cybersecurity
✅ Why the biggest barrier is not tech—but passenger trust

🎥 Watch the full presentation here:

The question is not whether we can build a fully autonomous passenger plane, but whether people will trust it. Here's a global view.

🌏 China is trying to cut ties with Western avionics—can it really succeed?

In this eye-opening video presentation, we examine how U.S. tariffs, tech restrictions, and China’s “Made in China 2025” campaign are fueling a massive push for a self-sufficient avionics ecosystem.

From billions in state funding to efforts to rival Honeywell and Thales, this is more than a trade dispute—it’s a global shift with lasting consequences for aerospace.
