| 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. |
