Aeroplanes and other powered aircraft of an unladen weight exceeding 2000 kg

cpc code 49623 covers the production and manufacturing of large, heavy aircraft that are used for commercial and military purposes. This industry plays a crucial role in the global transportation and defense sectors, enabling the movement of people and goods across vast distances. The aeroplanes and other powered aircraft described by this code are essential for international trade, tourism, and national security, making this a strategically important industry within the broader economy.

The production of aircraft under cpc code 49623 involves a complex and highly-specialized manufacturing process. Key steps include the design and engineering of the airframe, the assembly of the fuselage, wings, and other structural components, the installation of engines and avionics systems, and the final testing and certification of the completed aircraft. Advanced manufacturing techniques, such as computer-aided design (CAD), computer numerical control (CNC) machining, and composite materials fabrication, are extensively used to ensure the precision, quality, and safety of these large, powerful aircraft.

The production of aeroplanes and other powered aircraft under cpc code 49623 requires a wide range of specialized inputs, including high-strength, lightweight materials such as aluminum alloys, titanium, and advanced composites. Sophisticated avionics and electronic systems, including navigation, communication, and flight control equipment, are also essential inputs. Additionally, this industry relies on specialized machinery, tools, and testing equipment, as well as a highly-skilled workforce of engineers, technicians, and production workers.

The primary output of cpc code 49623 is the production of large, commercial and military aircraft, such as passenger airliners, cargo planes, and military transport aircraft. These aircraft are then consumed by 49621 Aeroplanes and other powered aircraft of an unladen weight not exceeding 2000 kg, 49622 Helicopters, and 49624 (Spacecraft (including satellites) and spacecraft launch vehicles), as well as by airlines, air cargo companies, and national defense organizations.
