Abstract

The article reports that Russian President Vladimir Putin finally set into motion the creation of a single Russian aerospace company. The Unified Aircraft Co.--whose acronym in Russian is OAK--is intended to encompass both fighter and commercial manufacturers, private and state-owned. Putin issued a decree on February 21, 2006 formally launching the process of pulling together the remnants of the aerospace sector. Following the decision, a non-commercial partnership has been laying the groundwork for the creation of OAK.
