Brazil's Embraer Officially Enters US Defense Market

Foreign military sales of the A-29, like the LAS contract, is one possibility. But that market is relatively small, said Richard Aboulafia of the Teal Group, and unlikely to expand. "I don't know what would make this market go away," he said, noting the market tends to average 18 to 24 planes a year. "On the other hand, I can't think of anything that would drive it upwards."
