I know that it is zeitgeist exploiting to say this, but seeing Boeing listed and not Airbus really says something to me.
Lockheed being listed makes me wonder if the FBI/CIA really will (further) step up on cybercrime, because you now have potential national security implications in a core supplier to multiple military branches.
- Havoc 3y agoBoeing is a lot more into military tech than airbus
- dralley 3y agoThat's not entirely true, Airbus is a participant in most European military aircraft projects. They participated in Eurofighter for example and are part of the FCAS program. It's true to the extent that the US does a lot more and broader military procurement in general, so Boeing gets a smaller piece of a much bigger pie. Wheras Airbus is getting a piece of most European projects as a member of one consortium or another, it's just a smaller pie.
- mshockwave 3y agocompare to Boeing's volume? maybe, but Airbus is one of _Europe_'s largest defense contractors
- robertlagrant 3y agoWell, it does have quite a lot of European state ownership. It would be very surprising if it didn't win a lot of European contracts.
- shakow 3y agoAre they? Airbus has its hands in quite a few major military programs (Eurofighter, A-400M, Tigre, Super-Puma, ...), as well as in spatial programs, especially satellite intelligence.
