Mitsubishi Heavy Industry （MHI） Co. launched a project in which regional jets （Mitsubishi Regional Jet （MILl）） reentered the airliner manufacturing market. Honda announced plans to develop, manufacture, and sell small passenger jets, or Honda Jets, in the United States （US） market. This paper summarizes the historical development of the industry using aircraft production statistics and analyzes the patent portfolio strategy from 1995 to 2006, a period in which MHI and Honda accumulated patents for the upcoming market entry. The author uses the following two measurements to evaluate niche widths among aircraft manufacturing companies： the Morishita＇s index and the principal component analysis.
