The Rising Influence of Rising Affluence

Re: Boeing

For commercial jets they are very well placed. The 787 really does up the technology and I would expect it do be dominate in that class over the next 2 decades.

On short range equipment I suspect they will not fare well. There are already decent players outside the big 2, and as somebody has posted on the BTV board China is cloning some regionals (including the MD-88 which is previous version of the 717).

The big question though is military. At some point the absurd US spending on this needs to be cut.
