Have you tried to tell them apart? This came up in May! Not quite as bad as the small light business jet market- I think on the last count there were about a dozen different projects coming to various stages of fruition. There will be blood! It has already started- Grob have gone under. I cannot understand how cash pressed companies have all followed each other down that black hole without pausing for thought.

Well, if you take a look round the world airliner manufacturers:

Europe - Airbus (mostly big jets), ATR (turboprops).

USA - Boeing (big jets).

Canada - Bombardier (jets and turboprops).

Brazil - Embraer (jets and turboprops).

Ukraine - Antonov (jets and turboprops).

Russia - the companies Yakovlev, Tupolev, Ilyushin and Sukhoi are, I gather, merged (jets and turboprops).

China - AVIC, Xian - can anyone explain the structure?

Japan - Mitsubishi.

And that is the count of major industrial countries. With conspicuous absence of India. Can we expect an Indian airliner manufacturer to be founded soon?

Anyway, I suspect that a number of airliner manufacturers cannot fail, for political reasons, even if they are less than competitive. (But light business startups are private adventures, often several in the same country, without this kind of backing).
