Aeroplanes and helicopters

CPC v2.1 Code: 4962

About aeroplanes and helicopters

cpc code 4962 covers the manufacture of aeroplanes and helicopters, a critical industry that plays a vital role in global transportation, logistics, and national defense. This industry is a significant contributor to the broader economy, providing essential transportation services, supporting international trade, and driving technological innovation.

Production process

The production of aeroplanes and helicopters involves a complex and highly-specialized manufacturing process. Key steps include the design and engineering of airframes, the assembly of engines and avionics systems, and the integration of various components to create a fully-functional aircraft. Manufacturers utilize advanced materials, such as lightweight composites, and employ precision engineering techniques to ensure the safety and performance of their products.

Production inputs

The manufacture of aeroplanes and helicopters requires a wide range of inputs, including specialized metals, composite materials, advanced electronics, and sophisticated machinery. Manufacturers rely on a global supply chain to source these critical components, which are then assembled and integrated into the final product. Additionally, the industry requires a highly-skilled workforce, including engineers, technicians, and production workers, to oversee the complex manufacturing process.

Production outputs

The primary output of cpc code 4962 is the production of aeroplanes and helicopters, which are then sold to a variety of customers, including commercial airlines, private individuals, and government agencies. These aircraft are used for passenger and cargo transportation, military operations, emergency services, and a range of other applications. The outputs of this industry may also be consumed by other related codes, such as 5121 Scheduled passenger air transport and 5122 Non-scheduled passenger air transport.
