Résumé : This paper looks more closely at the evolution of innovation models in Aerospace and Defense (A&D) which took place over a long time period (1945-2015). Our main goal is to show the emergence and development of knowledge based-economy through an analysis of innovation models. To do that, we develop an empirical analysis of patents in technological fields of A&D. This study points at a constant growth of non-patent literature in patent citations since 1980.
In order to deepen this analysis, we study the correlation between non patent literature citation and patent quality in A&D technological fields and we find a clear development in innovative practices, which include more and more diversified knowledge, in particularly scientific knowledge.
