But some industry leaders are cautioning investors to lower their expectations for 2008.

Even as its delivery rates grow, orders pour in and backlog reaches a record $295 billion, Boeing remains fixated on building a single airplane. The third-quarter financial report that CEO James McNerney and Chief Financial Officer James Bell presented Oct. 24 was full of superlatives for its airplane business unit.

Lockheed Martin reported net earnings of $766 million for the quarter ended Sept. 30, a 22 percent increase from the same period of 2006. The results beat Wall Street's consensus earnings expectation by 10 percent. Third quarter sales were up 16 percent from a year earlier to $11.1 billion. All four of the company's segments posted strong year-over-year gains in operating profits: Aeronautics (up 31 percent), Electronic Systems (up 26 percent), Space Systems (up 26 percent) and Information Systems (up 20 percent).
