Today I am where I want to be, strolling along almond-fringed beaches that, like cuffs of lace, fall from the dark sleeve of the jungle. Steam rises after a recent downpour and morning sunlight glances off cresting waves silver-threaded with the shoals of sardinella that ride their swell. Coconuts drop with a thud around me and begonia blossoms spiral slowly. This is a fecund forest of vastness that’s so alive you can practically hear the sap rising. I have been walking for more than an hour from my tented suite at the Sundy Praia retreat and seen no one. I have padded across sandbanks in the flipper trail of turtles who have come to lay eggs on these northern shores and clambered over rocky headlands. I’ve scaled the heights – and pushed through the insect drill—of the forest, into the shade of the towering oka. These trees have a presence not unlike Tolkien’s ents, those humanoid-like tree creatures. In Príncipe, it is customary to bury a newborn baby’s placenta beneath a trunk, so that everyone has a tree they consider their own. The forest is venerated and it is sacrilege to fell a tree, a belief embedded in law.

The total valuation of the market is forecast to reach up to US$ 40.2 billion by the end of this forecast period.
“Modernization of military aviation with higher investment in China and the United States has played a crucial role in the advancement of flight control technology. Advancement in connectivity and data Integration solutions have also improved aircraft capabilities through flight control systems that easily interface with data networks and communication platforms” says Nikhil Kaitwade, Associate Vice President at Future Market Insights, Inc.
The overall market is highly concentrated as manufacturers are providing more than half of the global demand for aircraft flight control systems. However, substantial government support and investment in developing economies trying to strengthen their military aviation sector is likely to diversify the market in the coming days.
