		<description><![CDATA[The U.S. is the world’s largest aerospace and defense market, and also home to the world’s largest military budget. The growth of the Aerospace and Defense industry depends largely on the spending outlook of government departments, with the U.S. defense budget being the primary driver. The industry largely depends on U.S. government contracts. Given the uncertain macroeconomic environment, not just in the U.S. but also globally, the industry faces the risk of fewer new orders as customers are more likely to postpone or cancel contractual orders and/or payments. Defense spending is the major source of revenue for the top nine global aerospace and defense companies, with the US accounting for more than 40% of total global defense spending. However, with the U.S. government expected to institute greater austerity in its ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Northrop Grumman Corporation (NOC) posted mixed results for the December quarter surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate on the bottom line but missing the consensus at the top. Looking forward, the company offers a strong program portfolio positioned to take advantage of focus areas in the defense space, an improving balance sheet and an ongoing share repurchase program. Our bullish outlook for the company is supported by favorable projected revenue, diversified revenue and earnings streams, and discounted relative valuation metrics. However, our bullishness would be tempered by apprehension regarding defense cutbacks on high-cost platform programs, over-exposure to the DOD budget, lower backlog, cost over-runs and reductions in the Afghanistan and Iraq operations. Northrop Grumman is the fourth largest U.S. defense contractor behind The Boeing Company (BA); Lockheed Martin Corporation (LMT); and ]]></description>

Boeing’s future prospects to a large extent depends on the defense budget, as a major chunk of its revenue comes from government contracts. The European crisis and rising possibility of U.S Defense cutback will impact the order book and eventually slow down the growth trajectory of the company. Numbering among the positives for the company is its strong presence in the international commercial airline markets, which will allow the company to capitalize on the potential growth in the commercial space. Boeing also caters to international customers and allies with international partners to increase efficiency through exchange of technology.

		<description><![CDATA[French conglomerate Dassault Group’s Rafale combat jet emerged as the lowest bidder for the multi-billion contract for the Indian Air Force. The $10.4 billion deal is for supplying 126 medium multi-role combat aircraft to the Indian Air Force (‘IAF’). The order heralded Rafale’s entry into the export market. Rafale’s entry into the export market is a major bad news for the beleaguered U.S. defense contractors who are looking offshore to compensate for the Pentagon’s planned axing of almost $1 trillion in budget cuts over the next decade. Although defense primes have mostly reported upbeat numbers for fiscal 2011, we are concerned about future growth in order backlogs from domestic programs. Rafale emerged the winner beating five contenders and arch-rival Eurofighter Typhoon. Eurofighter Typhoon is a twin-engine, canard-delta wing, multi-role fighter. ]]></description>

The U.S. is the world’s largest aerospace and defense market, and also home to the world’s largest military budget. The U.S. defense budget for 2011 was $670.8 billion, with the base budget at $513 billion and another $157.8 billion approved as supplementary defense spending mainly to fund the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. The fiscal 2012 defense authorization bill passed by the U.S. Congress for $662 billion in defense spending includes $529.6 billion for core spending, reflecting a growth of 3.2% from the fiscal 2011 level.

The administration is catching up to reduce flab in the budget, and the defense budget seems to stand out. In what is one of the final steps, the Pentagon has submitted to President Barack Obama a draft of its strategic budget review before its release. In the review, the Pentagon is seeking to trim about $450 billion in defense spending over 10 years to meet deficit reduction targets. The review, which will go to Congress in early 2012, will be accompanied by a defense funding plan through fiscal 2017. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta expects fiscal 2013-2017 defense budgets will be reduced by about $260 billion as part ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Defense and aerospace operator General Dynamics Corporation (GD) announced third-quarter 2011 operating earnings of $1.83 per share, which surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.77. The results of the company were 13 cents ahead of the year-ago figure of $1.70 per share. Total Revenue General Dynamics generated total revenue of $7.85 million in the reported quarter versus $8.01 million in the year-ago quarter, reflecting a decline of 2.0%. The year-over-year decline in revenue was primarily attributable to lower contribution from its Marine Systems and Information Systems and Technology segments, marginally offset by growth in Aerospace, and Combat Systems. Reported quarter revenue however failed to meet the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $8.3 billion. Segment Performance The Aerospace segment reported revenue of $1.4 billion, up 9.4% from the prior-year period. Operating income ]]></description>

Cargolux will also take delivery of the second 747-8 Freighter on September 21, 2011. The carrier has ordered 13 747-8 airplanes on Boeing. This new 747-8 model only retains the iconic shape of the first 747, but is by far more advanced than the initial 747&#8242;s rolled out from Boeing&#8217;s factory. The latest from Boeing features cutting-edge breakthroughs in aviation technology, akin to the 787 Dreamliner, featuring new wings, a brand new body and engines. Consequently, the airplane would improve upon fuel efficiency by 16% and reduce carbon emissions by another 16%. The 747-8 Freighter is the high-capacity version of 747 that ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Boeing Company (BA) launched a new engine variant of its 737 series airliners christened 737 MAX. Boeing 737 is a short- to medium-range, twin-engine narrow-body passenger jet airliner. The new engine variant 737 MAX would be powered by CFM International LEAP-1B engines. CFM International is an equally owned joint venture between GE Aviation, a division of General Electric Company (GE) and French conglomerate Safran. The fuel efficient engines would enable the 737 MAX airliners with a distinct cost advantage over its peers in the single-aisle segment. Boeing estimates the advantage could stretch as far as 7% versus its comparable peers like the European aerospace company EADS’ Airbus A320 series airliners. Boeing’s new 737 variant has already order commitments for 496 units from five airlines. Delivery of the airline is ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The growth of the Aerospace and Defense industry depends largely on the spending outlook of government departments, with the U.S. defense budget being the primary driver. The U.S. is the world’s largest aerospace and defense market, and also home to the world’s largest military budget. In 2010, the total global defense expenditure of $1.6 trillion grew 1.3% from 2009 levels in real terms. The majority of this growth came from the U.S. Defense spending, which was $698 billion in 2010, accounting for roughly 43% of the global total. The U.S. defense budget for 2011 is $670.8 billion, out of which the base budget comprises $513 billion with another $157.8 billion approved as supplementary defense spending mainly to fund the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Quarterly adjusted (excluding special charges) earnings per share (EPS) of $1.24 surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate by a penny. In after-market trade on NYSE, Harris’ shares jumped $3.02 (7.95%) to $41.00 mainly fueled by the increase in the dividend rate and a new share repurchase authorization worth $1 billion. Reported GAAP net income in the quarter was $133.5 million or $1.06 per share compared with $151.4 million or $1.16 per share in the year-ago quarter. This was mainly due to higher cost of production and the slowdown in the U.S. defense expenditure.

		<description><![CDATA[The Boeing Company (BA), riding on higher delivery of commercial airplanes and stable all round core performance, reported strong numbers for the second quarter of 2011. In the reported quarter, the company posted quarterly earnings of $1.25 per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 97 cents a share as well as the year-ago earnings of $1.06. The robust performance was albeit partially affected by higher pension expense. Operating Statistics On the revenue front, quarterly revenues increased 6.2% year over year to $16.54 billion, primarily attributable to higher commercial airplane deliveries. Reported revenues, however, failed to beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $16.57 billion. Operating margin rose 90 basis points (bps) year over year to 9.3%. Overall Net income rose 19.6% to $941 million from $787 million in the year-ago ]]></description>

Airbus was able to clinch orders and commitments worth $72.2 billion outscoring Boeing’s $22 billion. The Paris Air Show clearly indicates that the ever-increasing fuel cost has tilted customers towards more fuel-efficient Airbus&#8217; A320neos in preference to Boeing&#8217;s 737s. The changed scenario puts more pressure on Boeing, which is yet to determine whether to re-engine the 737 that could enter service in the 2017 timeframe or introduce a transformational new airplane by 2020. At the Air Show, Airbus secured about $72.2 billion worth of business for a total of 730 aircraft. The company received commitments for 312 ]]></description>
