Abstract. The modern aviation industry is undergoing a fundamental transformation driven by the need for accelerated technological development, import substitution of critical components, and adaptation to changing global market conditions, while classical closed innovation models based exclusively on internal development demonstrate limited effectiveness in the face of increasing complexity of aviation systems and rapid development of digital technologies. The study is devoted to a comprehensive analysis of the application of the open innovation concept in the aviation industry through the prism of enhancing the competitiveness of industry enterprises. The subject of the study is the theoretical foundations, organizational and economic mechanisms, and practical aspects of implementing open innovations at aviation enterprises. Classical theoretical approaches to open innovations formulated by Henry Chesbrough, evolution of conceptual representations of interaction with external sources of knowledge, and specifics of applying open innovations in high-tech industries are considered. The current state of Russian and global aviation industry is analyzed, key drivers for implementing open innovations are identified, including the need to reduce development timelines for new products, decrease R&D costs, access to advanced technologies and competencies. Critical factors for successful implementation of open innovations in aviation have been identified, including formation of innovation ecosystems involving universities, research organizations and suppliers, creation of effective technology transfer mechanisms, implementation of digital platforms for collaboration, and development of openness culture while maintaining protection of critically important technologies. An integrative model of open innovations for aviation enterprises has been developed, demonstrating the interconnection of incoming knowledge flows from external partners, internal adaptation and commercialization processes, and outgoing technology flows to external markets. The scientific novelty of the research lies in systematization of specific characteristics of open innovations as applied to the aviation industry, identification of key barriers and success factors, as well as development of a conceptual model that takes into account industry features, including long development cycles, strict safety requirements, and high capital intensity. The practical significance of the work is determined by the possibility of applying the developed provisions for forming innovation development strategies of aviation enterprises, building partnerships with external sources of innovations, and creating competitive advantages based on effective use of global knowledge and technologies in the context of technological sovereignty.
