Summary/Abstract |
The by-pass jet turbine engine concept did not just arrive onto the aero-engine scene in the early 1960s, it made a quantum leap forward from the perspectives of 1) performance 2), efficiency and 3) technology. Development since then significantly improved these three areas and considerably increased 'dual use' uptake, in which both military and civil markets benefit from the underlying technological advances being made across the entire aerospace industry.

Summary/Abstract |
Despite Western skepticism, all signs point to a Chinese navy that is skillfully tackling surface-force maintenance challenges.
In 2013, the Chinese People's Liberation Army Navy (PLAN) commissioned 17 new battle force surface ships. 1 These units continue the transition of the PLAN surface order of battle from smaller, Soviet-pattern warships to modern, multi-mission platforms capable of extended deployments. As impressive as these vessels appear, naval professionals are acutely aware that platforms and payloads only represent real capability if they are functioning and available for rigorous training and real-world operations. Modern and sophisticated combatants present complex maintenance challenges that must be addressed if their technological advances are to be anything more than promise and potential.
