Although commercial aircraft assuredly qualify as a transformative innovation, in fact today's commercial aircraft are the result of a process of incremental innovation and improvement that dates back more than a century. A great many of these improvements and incremental innovations originated from government-supported R&D programs sponsored by the military services or government research laboratories. The adoption of commercial-aircraft innovations within many industrial economies, including the United States, also has been influenced by government regulation of air transportation. This paper provides a historical characterization of the innovation and record of technical progress in US commercial aircraft during the 1900-1975 period. It identifies the sources of support for innovation and technological adoption, and examines the origins and impacts of "breakthrough innovations" on the overall evolution of the global commercial aircraft industry. The paper also assesses the role of patents in these important innovations. 000028900 650_0 $$aPatents$$zUnited States. 000028900 650_0 $$aIntellectual property$$zUnited States. 000028900 650_4 $$aMARKS : AGENTS' MARKS, LICENSES 000028900 651_0 $$aUnited States$$xCommerce$$xLaw and legislation. 000028900 7001_ $$aMowery, David C. 000028900 830_0 $$aEconomics Working Papers. 000028900 8564_ $$9f3c792b9-f6dc-463a-87e0-9f5d74581f8f$$s1534452$$zComplete document (PDF)$$uhttps://tind.wipo.int/record/28900/files/wipo_pub_econstat_wp_25.pdf 000028900 901__ $$aWIPO/PUB/ECONSTAT/WP/25 000028900 902__ $$a3996_en 000028900 903__ $$aEconomics working papers 000028900 904__ $$aWorking paper 000028900 909CO $$ooai:tind.wipo.int:28900$$pWIPOPUB 000028900 980__ $$aWIPOPUB$$aERWP
