2017 年上半年，中证军工指数跑输沪深 300 合计 23 个百分点，一方面是由于金融监管及去杠杆，市场风险偏好降低，市场出现整体回调下，高估值高 β 的军工板块首当其冲；另一方面是军工板块行情多为事件驱动，随诸多催化因素兑现，利好落地成利空。从过去 5-10 年来看，60xPE是军工板块的底部区域，90xPE 为估值中枢，目前军工板块大约85xPE，整体回落至中枢水平，但估值压力依然较大。

5 月，新船市场行情逐渐转好，订单量降幅明显收窄，累计订单量达 986 万载重吨，同比下降 31.5%，降幅较上月收窄达20 个百分点；在新船市场小幅反弹的带动下，我国造船完工量增速上涨，完工量达到 2293 万载重吨，同比增长 78.8%；手持订单量进一步消耗，已减至 8515 万载重吨；新船价格指数与上月持平，细分船型市场表现尚不明朗；出口额大幅上涨，累计增速有所回升；本月船企经营绩效较为乐观，带动利润率翻倍上涨。

The e-bike technology has developed gradually. Earlier, e-bikes were bulky because of the use of lead-acid batteries; however, with the use of nickel–metal hydride, nickel–cadmium cell, or lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries in newer models, the weight of e-bikes has reduced significantly. These batteries are lighter with increased capacity, and thus improve the performance of the bikes in terms of range and speed. In 2001, e-bikes with pedal-assist and power-assist systems were introduced. A typical e-bike requires 7-9 hours to charge the battery, providing a range of 25-30 miles with a speed of 20 mph.

The global heliports market was valued at $485.4 million in the year 2015 and isexpected to grow at a CAGR of 2.36% during the forecast period. Withadvancements in designs (rooftop, tabletop, and floating decks) and improvedfeatures in construction materials such as lightweight, highly durable, and corrosionresistance materials replacing the old concrete models, this market is expected to witness an upsurge in the coming years.

FAC are small, fast, agile, and attack-capable warships, which are armed with anti-ship missiles, guns, or torpedoes. FAC are generally operated in the coastal regions as they lack the defensive capabilities to survive in the blue waters. The major benefit of such ships over other warships is their affordability and speed. These boats, when armed with guided missiles, are capable of posing threats to even large capital ships.Technavio expects the global FAC market to grow at a CAGR of 2.14% during the forecast period. In 2015, EMEA led the market with a share of 38%, followed by APAC with a share of 35.78%, and the Americas with a share of 26.22%. Over the forecastperiod, the countries in APAC are expected to be the fastest growing market for the FAC with a major share of expenses from India, China, Japan, North Korea, and South Korea.

Before designing an aircraft wing, the primary step taken is the designing the airfoil, which is the horizontal cross-section of the wing. The structure of the airfoil plays a vital role in deriving the type and limitations of the aircraft. For instance, aircraft wing with thick airfoils generate more drag than the thin airfoils, therefore, aircraft with thick airfoils are not preferred for long-haul flights.

Avionic systems are a combination of electro-mechanical and electronic systems, which allow effective operation of aircraft. Each avionic system depends on electronic devices for its functioning. For instance, the fly-by-wire control system depends on digital computers for its operation. Avionic systems provide pilots with data such as aircraft altitude, airstream incidence, and air speed using air data sensors, aircraft motion using accelerometers, control stick sensor assembly, and rate gyros. Avionics include communication systems, cockpit display systems, control and monitoring systems, navigation systems, and other electro-mechanical arrangements.
