Boeing kicking ass (heavy metal sales)
I'm smart enough to know that I don't know enough about world
economics to make a serious comment on this, but it seems to me that there are still some companies in this supposedly wretched economy making some very big deals. Other articles in this newsletter include CFM (GE) selling $1 billion worth of engines at the show (so far). http://www.militaryaerospace.com/art...boroJuly122012 Boeing inks deals to sell 30 aircraft at Farnborough Wednesday, bringing its show total to 267 Posted by John Keller FARNBOROUGH, England, 11 July 2012. Boeing Commercial Airplanes in Seattle booked orders and options for 30 aircraft Wednesday at the Farnborough International Airshow in Farnborough, England, bringing the company's total in the Farnborough aircraft-sale sweepstakes to 267. Wednesday's orders from Avolon, a Dublin-based aircraft leasing and management company, open Boeing's lead in Farnborough aircraft sales over archrival Airbus in Toulouse, France. As of close of business Wednesday Airbus had sold 61 aircraft at Farnborough. In Wednesday's deal, Avolon agreed to buy 10 737 MAX 8 and five 737 MAX 9 next-generation, fuel-efficient single-aisle passenger jets from Boeing, as well as 10 next-generation 737-800s. The commitment, worth $2.3 billion, also includes reconfirmation rights for five more 737 MAX airplanes, Boeing officials say. The twin-engine 737 MAX, a new-engine variant of the popular 737 narrow-body passenger jetliner uses the CFM International LEAP-1B engine. Airlines operating the 737 MAX will see a 13 percent fuel burn improvement over today's most fuel efficient single-aisle airplanes, Boeing officials say. Boeing designed the 737 MAX as a direct competitor in the single-aisle jetliner market with the Airbus A320neo. Both aircraft are touted as fuel-efficient, low-emission aircraft that take advantage of new engines and new aerodynamic features. As of Wednesday, Boeing had sold 242 737 MAX aircraft at and shortly before Farnborough. Airbus, has sold four A320neo aircraft at Farnborough. The A320neo is short for new engine option.

Also follow Military & Aerospace Electronics and Avionics Intelligence daily Farnborough show coverage online at www.militaryaerospace.com/farnborough-report.

I know somebody who runs a large CNC shop that makes some of Boeing's engine parts. (I wish I could afford the power to run some of those machines, much less had a place to hold one.) Anyway, he said they have had solid production levels for a few years now. |

GM sold below cost for several years before going bankrupt and tried to make it up on the volume... Another facet is the existence of overt and covert subsidies such as ExIm bank financing and the tax deductibility of business loan interest, accelerated depreciation, etc. While the sale of aircraft and engines *MAY* be profitable to the manufactures, when the subsidies and externalized costs, e.g. engineering education, are considered these may sales may well be a net *LOSS* to the total domestic economy. It is also well to remember that civil aviation has never returned a aggregated cumulative net profit from Orvil and Wilber to today. -- "Cuando los ricos piensan en los pobres, piensan en pobre..." "When the rich think of the poor, they often have poor ideas..." María Eva [Evita] Duarte de Perón (1919-1952) |
