Podcast: China’s Kitplane Movement

Amid the rapid growth of China's aviation industry, there's a movement afoot to bring personal flying, including homebuilding, into the general public. Among its advocates is aviation business consultant Francis Chao. His company, Uniworld, recently expanded its North American partnerships to include kitplane maker Sonex Aircraft. Chao talked to AVweb's Elaine Kauhduring AirVenture 2016 about GA's start in the country and how the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) is beginning to embrace the idea of public flying.
