But Piston Deliveries Continue To Slip
On Thursday, the General Aviation Manufacturers Association
(GAMA) announced second quarter shipment and billings figures.
Industry billings continue at a record-setting pace totaling $12.1
billion, a 24.1 percent increase in the first half of 2008. But
piston-powered airplane shipments totaled 1034 units compared to
1226 units delivered in the first half of 2007, a 15.7 percent
decrease.
