## Japan's New Strategy for Developing a Passenger Jet

Following the failure of the SpaceJet project, the Japanese government has released a new strategy for developing a domestic passenger jet. This strategy emphasizes collaboration between the public and private sectors, aiming to leverage the strengths of domestic companies and technologies.

Utilizing the capabilities of domestic companies for parts production.

Combining technologies from different companies to initiate development.

Providing support for research and development in fuel efficiency and hydrogen fuel.

The government expects a combined investment of 4 trillion yen over ten years from both public and private sectors to achieve a carbon-neutral future for the aircraft industry.

However, challenges remain, including the complex nature of the parts supply chain and competition for skilled personnel. Some experts suggest exploring joint development projects with other nations as an alternative to a purely domestic approach.

This new strategy marks a significant shift in Japan's approach to developing a passenger jet, emphasizing collaboration and a long-term vision for a sustainable future.
