In English-speaking countries, people like to keep up with the Joneses. For South Korean defense ministry officials, it is important to keep up with the Tanakas. That is one reason why Japan's expected order for the Lockheed Martin F-35 is likely to result in sales of more than the 42 fighters that industry officials anticipated Tokyo would buy. Another is that the aircraft chosen for Japan's fighter program for this decade may well be built throughout the 2020s, long after the initial requirement is filled.
Riding a wave of record-breaking airliner orders that are continuing well into the tail end of 2011, engine makers are looking for a sustained period of solid production into 2013 and beyond. Although the boom year has been dominated by the surge in midsize engine orders tied to the newly launched Airbus A320NEO and Boeing 737 MAX families, a large proportion of the order value is still tied to the healthy demand for larger-thrust engines.
Airbus and Boeing are each observing 7,000 delivery milestones of a different kind this week. Airbus is celebrating the delivery of its 7,000th aircraft, an A321, while Boeing will hand over the 7,000th 737.
