Summary

Joe Anselmo has been Editorial Director of the Aviation Week Network and Editor-in-Chief of Aviation Week & Space Technology since 2013. Based in Washington, D.C., he directs a team of more than two dozen aerospace journalists across the U.S., Europe and Asia-Pacific.

Under his leadership, Aviation Week has won numerous accolades for its in-depth reporting and deep dives into aerospace technology, including the 2017 Grand Neal award for “Top Brand/Overall Editorial Excellence,” business-to-business journalism’s equivalent of the Pulitzer Prize. Writers from the Aviation Week Network also took home six honors at the 2018 Aerospace Media Awards in London.

In 2015, Anselmo and his team spearheaded a digital initiative that provides subscribers with fresh content every day via mobile phones, tablets, or desktop computers. To mark Aviation Week’s 100th anniversary in 2016, the publication’s entire archive – more than 440,000 pages of articles, images, covers and advertisements – was digitized into a searchable online archive. Aviation Week also has accelerated its push into digital media with regular podcasts, videos, data features, infographics and eBooks.

Anselmo has more than 25 years of experience as an editor and reporter with Aviation Week, Congressional Quarterly and the Washington Post Company. He has won three Aerospace Journalist of the Year awards. A graduate of Ohio University, he was elected three times to the National Press Club’s Board of Governors, including one term as board chairman.

Bombardier Inc. stands out among aircraft manufacturers for the degree to which it has integrated China into its global supply chain. The fuselage for the Canadian company’s Q400 turboprop is produced here, and Shenyang Aircraft Corp., a subsidiary of state-owned Avic, is building a plant that will manufacture fuselages for Bombardier’s new CSeries jet. You might think all of that sourcing would result in big sales, but so far it hasn’t. Bombardier has not sold a passenger aircraft in China in more than seven years.

To get rich is glorious.” Three decades after then-leader Deng Xiaoping pointed his nation toward a market-oriented economy, China is growing richer at a breathtaking pace, as evidenced by mile upon mile of new skyscrapers across Shanghai and Beijing. Thirty-four major airports are under construction, and another 63 are planned by 2020. The Civil Aviation Administration of China forecasts that per-capita air travel will increase fivefold during the next 20 years—this in a nation that already has 240 metropolitan areas of at least one million residents.

Other modest cuts already were telegraphed by Defense Secretary Robert Gates. The Pentagon’s core budget would actually rise slightly, to $553 billion, though not enough to keep pace with inflation.
