Answer 2

Hey Zach, you and Comair should get together and compare notes.  I believe he is about your age, and has about the same flying experience that you do.  You guys could probably learn a lot from each other.  Have fun!!

Answer 3

Uh what are you asking? Are there any PLACES that make planes in Asia or are they any Asian planes? (like Boeing=US?) Answer to that is no. There is a major company that does make planes i do believe it's called Kawasaki Heavy Industries ..................

EDIT: Yes you are correct Josh.....I meant to say they make "smaller parts".....Like they made parts for the 787

Answer 4

No, I don't believe so ; that isn't their major industry. Most of the manufacturers are in the Americas(Boeing, Embraer, Canadair,etc. ), Europe(technically France for Airbus), and Russia. I don't believe any other places make them.

EDIT: KHI makes smal jets and engiens, but technically not Aircraft themselves that would be used commercially.

Cheers!

Answer 6

The ACAC consortium is made up of many Chinese aviation companies. They are designing and making a regional jet 'ARJ21' which is similar to a DC-9.

Answer 7

yes there are

Mitsubishi F-1 The Japanese Version OF General D F16

there was this delta shaped Chinese Jet fighter

the Chinese Chengdu jets that modify Russian Mig-21 Fishbeds & much more

as for commercial airliners I think europe & the Us is in charge of that I d guess that they dont make airliners is because theres probably no need for it anyways
