Summary / Abstract (Note) | Fighter aircraft development is difficult and high-risk and only few countries have the ability to develop their own. Taiwan, as a latecomer, has been successful in the development of a high-performance fighter. This paper illustrates the Taiwan experience by the method of system dynamics. The results of this study show that such development by latecomers has the following characteristics: (1) The government has a strong commitment to the development due to serious external threats; (2) at least a firstcomer must exist to provide the necessary key technologies; (3) development requires the long-term accumulation of manpower and technology. This study also uses the method of the casual feedback loop to interpret and discuss the development of other latecomers. |
