In the aircraft industry there is an abundant amount of tangible property that has to protected. Tangible property that the rights must be protected to are the finished products themselves and the many components that are assembled in the airplane.

They must be protected not only because of the competition but because of the enemy if it is for a military aircraft. If the enemy gains access to certain components of the aircraft, it could mean the death of the pilot. Drone aircraft used in the military could become hijacked if their controls were figured out by the opposition.

When military airplanes are shot down or bailed out of over enemy territory the pilot often tries to destroy the aircraft or crash it in an area where the enemy can not access it and try to pick it apart to find radar or communications components.
