A year for decision

Abstract

THIS is the year for decision. For far too long question marks have been hanging over the industry, debilitating it and sapping the morale of its members. The year has at least started well with one positive decision. The production order for 400 B.A.C./Breguet Aviation Jaguar advanced trainer and tactical support aircraft was signed by the two governments on January 9. The first four aircraft are due to fly this year, two of the advanced trainer configuration and two tactical prototypes. The Jaguar has great export potential and may well prove to be the most successful military aircraft of the decade.
