It is like a PR campaign but I'd say it's also significant. While it's not a lot relative to the mass of the GDP, aerospace is one of the key areas that the US has had a strong presence in over the years. US Health Care spending is approaching 20% of GDP but this is because health care is a bloated corrupt mess. Other parts of the GDP also have debatable reality - overprices infrastructure project also are added to the GDP. But selling advanced airplanes is something real the US does - though with Boeing's many shenanigans, maybe not as much as before. Of course, it's Boeing gutting itself and stretching every area of safety and regulation that brought us here and the regulators letting this go wouldn't stop a fall at all.
