Hi I stumbled on this article a few weeks ago and saw that it contained some out of date information had quite a few issues and had virtually no other articles linked to it and was as a result getting very few hits Since I feel that this is an important topic I have made an effort to update and improve the article although this is not an area of expertise for me and this has limited what I am able to do As I see it the purpose of the article should be as with articles such as Automotive industry in the United Kingdom or Automobile industry in China to provide a concise overview of the industry including its history current state and economic impact important products and companies I agree that the list of first flights is not appropriate In my view this should be changed into a prose description of the history of the industry with some of the first flight details being woven into the text as appropriate I have started trying to improve the Major participants section but in my view this requires more work The Current developments section contains a lot of interesting and useful information but appears to need some updating On a minor point I see that you have moved Thales from the overseas to the domestic section of the paragraph in the lead on major participants As I wrote this list I was looking at the companies from the perspective of the location of the ultimate parent companies headquarters and registered office Although Thales s UK subsidiaries are registered in the UK they are wholly owned by the French parent company
