Manufacturers will deliver almost 13,000 new business aircraft worth $233 billion in the 2008 to 2017 period, according to pundits at Honeywell Aerospace. The U.S. group’s 16th ten-year forecast since 1987 logged 2007 as the fourth straight year of industry expansion.

According to the report, deliveries of aircraft with gross takeoff weights of less than 100,000 pounds are expected to exceed 1,300 this year. “Industry growth has moved into unparalleled territory,” said Honeywell business and general aviation president Rob Wilson.
