“…Tidd (2001) argued that innovation management "best practice" is contingent on a range of factors, and that we need better characterizations of the technological and market contingencies which affect the opportunity for, and constraints on, innovation and further identified uncertainty and complexity as the key environmental contingencies that influence organizational structure and management processes for innovation. Impediments to technological innovation exist everywhere in aerospace (Terrile, 2011). As to China's aerospace firms, there are increased technological pressures on them.…”

“…It has become accepted that technological life cycles in aerospace industry seem to be decreasing compared with earlier, and the firms of the aerospace industry seem to grow faster than those of the average industry (Bönte, 2004); this builds pressure on China's aerospace firm to constantly innovate. Furthermore, aerospace firms tend to be highly compartmentalized and not prone to advocate cross-cutting ideas (Terrile, 2011). Therefore, China's aerospace firms must use both internal and external pathways to exploit technologies and, concurrently, to acquire knowledge from external sources (Chesbrough, 2003).…”

Purpose -This paper aims to unravel the technological innovation pattern in China's aerospace industry. The technological innovation pattern of China's aerospace industry is identified and its theoretical foundation, structure, philosophy, formation and effects on the development of China's aerospace industry are explored. Design/methodology/approach -First, the theoretical foundation of synergy innovation of China's aerospace industry is reviewed to further identify the technological innovation pattern. Second, Chinese ancient philosophy (dialectical thinking) is used to explain the structure and process of synergy innovation in China's aerospace industry. Third, the formation process of synergy innovation is introduced, and, finally, the effects of synergy innovation are discussed. Findings -The technological innovation pattern of China's aerospace industry has undergone an evolutionary process. During this process, China's aerospace firms have formed a unique technological innovation pattern, synergy innovation, under China's special political and economic background. The synergy innovation has three characteristics, including original, integrated and application-based. The synergy innovation pattern application is one of the most important reasons behind the great achievements of China's aerospace industry. Originality/value -A unique technological innovation pattern, synergy innovation, is proposed for the first time. A new perspective for understanding innovation is provided by applying the Chinese dialectical thinking to decipher the philosophy of the technological innovation pattern. Based on this, this paper suggests that China's aerospace industry should follow the situation and apply the synergy innovation pattern to achieve development and growth. This paper also illustrates a multi-method approach and emphasizes the different levels of organizing for innovation.

Distributed platforms play an important role in aerospace remote sensing, radar navigation, and wireless communication applications. However, besides the requirement of high accurate time and frequency synchronization for coherent signal processing, the baseline between the transmitting platform and receiving platform and the orientation of platform towards each other during data recording must be measured in real time. In this paper, we propose an improved pulsed duplex microwave ranging approach, which allows determining the spatial baseline and orientation between distributed aerospace platforms by the proposed high-precision time-interval estimation method. This approach is novel in the sense that it cancels the effect of oscillator frequency synchronization errors due to separate oscillators that are used in the platforms. Several performance specifications are also discussed. The effectiveness of the approach is verified by simulation results.
