“The aviation university will be different from NCAT; the university will be fully into research and development and production of higher level management manpower need of the industry.”

On the potential for research, he explained further:

“The university will go into deep research, with the hope that in the near future, we will be able to manufacture aircraft components, until when we are able to produce the aircraft itself.
