david: what about the profit margin versus the dreamliner? but the volume is greater in the smaller planes. david: they are doing well on that. as you look forward on growth, military is not that big, less than 50% of their revenue, it is not really in the forefront, do they plan to grow that? ivan: the key for boeing is the cyber security business. the biggest concern for governments and corporations are cyber attacks, more so than military attacks. boeing is a key player. how big theyknow are in cyber security, but they are a very big player in cyber security and that is an area where trump has said we need to focus on, where the expenditures are increasing tremendously. global communications are a big aspect. we have a continual increase for greater bandwidth to link the systems in cars as cars get smarter and we go to self driving cars, to connect planes for online internet access and streaming video in planes, boats to bring communications to areas that don't have strong bandwidth. then the other area is the unmanned aircraft, which is r
