What Hype is tracking

Could immediately constrain U.S.-linked engine and component exports to China, raising operational and contractual risks for OEMs — see earlier reporting on potential U.S. export controls on Boeing parts (https://hype.aero/?story=fbc51255-d15c-4aae-8b28-ff4ac112af1b).
Would deepen supply-chain disruption that has already threatened COMAC C919 delivery timelines by limiting engine and parts flows (https://hype.aero/?story=4854d3da-a9dd-4fc8-ab29-2652c3eca9e2).
Frames aerospace as leverage in a broader trade dispute over rare-earths and magnets, a dynamic U.S. officials have linked to airplane parts policy (https://hype.aero/?story=0edb0e13-3894-42f7-998d-63e9dfb918fc).
