Aircraft Engine Industry: GE Aviation & Rolls Royce
Introduction
It’s been nearly 104 years since an American company manufactured the first airplane. Since then many firms have developed innovative products to enhance the aircraft engine industry. In an industry with a promising future, with a sales growth rate of 8.96% it begs the question as to why more firms aren’t invested in the future of aircraft. The answer could be that existing power firms such as GE Aviation, Rolls Royce and Pratt & Whitney have established firm entry barriers to potential competitors, or their prevailing competitive advantages withstand.
