Aerospace companies are involved in design, research, producing and operation of aircraft and spacecraft.
The largest aerospace companies, such as Lockheed and Boeing manufacture both commercial and military aircrafts as well, making extremely large amounts in revenue annually. Without a shadow of a doubt, it’s among the most profitable industries in the world, especially we know that only in the United States its worth is between $800 billion to $1 trillion. If you take into condsideration that only one top company makes tens of billions of dollars annually, then you can imagine how lucrative this industry is. Additionally, defense spending is continually growing year by year. The United States spends on its military more than most of the countries combined, therefore aerospace companies are predicted to make more profit in the future.
