In these sectors, priority will be given to the development of next-generation rockets, satellites, space stations as well as large airplanes and helicopters, making Binhai a world-class industrial hub for the aviation and astronautics industries.
In addition to manufacturing and assembly, the industries will form a full value chain that also includes research and development, logistics and main- tenance. According to official estimates, the revenues of these industries will reach 100 billion yuan by 2015, accounting for 4 percent of the total revenue of Binhai New Area.
