Quote:
"Lutz Bertling, the head of Eurocopter, the world’s largest civil helicopter maker, told Reuters he expects China will move from making civil helicopters in joint ventures and under licence to producing its own from scratch within the decade.
"Because of this [cumbersome redtape to obtain approval to take flight], there are less than 150 helicopters in the whole of China, according to aviation consultancy Frost & Sullivan, compared with tens of thousands in the US.
"The total number of 'general aviation' aircraft, including all non-military aircraft not operated by commercial airlines, in China was less than 900 by the end of 2008, according to Chinese state media reports, compared with 220,000 in the US.

My comment: Come on, Aviation Week can do better, rather than serves as a mouth piece of PLA. Russians have said more than once that WS-10 engine does not fly. Why not comment on that?
