Aerospace Industrial Development Corporation (AIDC) is a Taiwanese aerospace manufacturer headquartered in Taichung. Established in 1969, the company initially focused on military-aircraft maintenance, manufacturing, and related capability development before expanding into aircraft development, aircraft production, aerospace structures, and aircraft-engine-related components. AIDC supports Taiwan’s defense aerospace programs while also participating in the international civil-aerospace supply chain through structural parts, components, and manufacturing services. Its activities span both defense industry and commercial aerospace manufacturing, making it an important participant in Taiwan’s aerospace sector.

AIDC was established in 1969 to support Taiwan’s aviation industry through military-aircraft maintenance, manufacturing, and related technical development. As its manufacturing and engineering capabilities expanded, the company moved beyond maintenance into aircraft development, production, and the manufacture of aerospace structures and components. AIDC subsequently participated in Taiwan’s military-aircraft programs and developed capabilities spanning design, engineering, manufacturing, maintenance, and logistics support. With the growth of civil aviation, the company also entered the international aerospace supply chain, producing fuselage structures, aircraft components, and engine-related parts. AIDC now serves both Taiwan’s defense-aerospace requirements and international civil-aerospace customers.
