After reviewing the literature, the innovation system was reviewed and its contribution to the system of technological innovation and two structural and operational approaches were indagated. Then, the research model was identified based on the effectiveness of the functions on the structures. In the next step, the model of structural equations was extracted using questionnaire. It was distributed among experts and the results were analyzed using Smart PLS software. The results showed that the operating parameters of knowledge distribution and legitimacy are weak in Iranchr('39')s general aviation, which should be addressed to overcome it.
