Because of the strategic importance of avionic sector, being on technology edges, high spillovers to other sectors and high employment rate of this sector, aerospace policymakers have been focused on that during recent years and they have emphasized on the necessity of technological capability improvement in the avionic firms. Therefore, this article tries to answer this important question how to present an appropriate model for technological capability improvement in avionic firms. Hence, after establishment of a conceptual model, the survey and analysis of data extracted from 111 knowledge based firms of avionic sector were done. As well, direction and intensity of relations among latent variables were investigated using structural equation models. Finally, the model of technological capability improvement for avionic firms along with related consequences and suggestions were presented.
