We see it in the news frequently - some international airline makes a purchase order for hundreds of 787s or 777s. The first thought on the mind of US aviation professionals is concern. There is only so much market share and a very large order for transport aircraft from a foreign company is evidence of where that market share is going. In this week's post, answer the following questions:
1) What is the Export-Import Bank? How does it operate?
2) What are the specific issues that those employed by US aviation companies have with the Export-Import Bank?
3) What are your feelings about the Export-Import Bank and its impact on the US aviation industry? What are possible solutions?

UAVs - Due March 9th @ 11:59PM
Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are frequently in the news, most often for their military applications or the random story of a college experiment gone wrong, inadvertently placing a UAV in controlled airspace. However, rumor has it that their practical application in the civilian world is becoming more of a possibility. Please answer the following questions for this week's topic:
1) What civilian purpose, if any, are UAVs currently being used for in United States? How are these civilian UAVs regulated (if they are regulated)?
2) Do you foresee UAVs integrating into the NAS? If so, how? Also, what problems do you foresee resulting from this? Be sure to include not only logistical problems, but also potential perception problems.
3) As for the military application of UAVs, how have they transformed military strategy? Has their integration been efficient (consider all aspects - from financial to ethical)?
4) Finally, do some research and find out if their are UAV jobs that are advertised for civilians (both flight and management students). If so, include this as your link. If you are unable to locate a job posting, reference your above answers to brainstorm the potential for types of UAV jobs in the future.
