Abstract
We consider here the governance of learning and the diffusion of technological knowledge in the civil aircraft industry. We describe a systemic process by which specialization in 27 knowledge encourages depth whilst breadth is captured through the integration of contributions by the lead manufacturer, which acts as systems integrator. We explore the 29 boundaries of the knowledge bases related to airframe structure and systems and aircraft instrumentation by using patents as tracers, considering the range of scientific and 31 technological disciplines related to the industry as well as the sources of that knowledge. We conclude by introducing the research questions to a more detailed case study: the 33 governance of knowledge in aviation electronics, or avionics
