?AL Proyecto Azimut?La Industria Aeronáutica en el ámbito de la Comunidad Económica de América Latina ?AL Azimuth Project?Aeronautical Industry for the Latin-American Conmmon Market

The purpose of this paper is to promote the establishment of standards and basic requirements to direct development of preliminary orientational studies for the organic and financial structure, in the incipient period, of a Latin-American Aeronautical Industry, which is urgently needed to be incorporated into the integration plans of the Latin-American Common Market. Immediate action is recommended in view of statistical data analyzed for Mexican import and export values, for aircraft and its spare parts, that give $122 091 000 (U. S. currency) in the period from 1957 to 1964, with an average value of $6.55 per pound. Indices are also given for modern flight equipment in the range of $40 to $60 per pound, with a tendency to increase to the range of $80 to $90 per pound in the next five years.
