Studie zum weltweiten Luftfahrt- und Verteidigungssektor 2012

The A&D industry reported its third consecutive year of record revenue and profit. The uptick came on the strength of a surging commercial aviation market that more than offset a soft defense performance. For 2012, the top 100 A&D companies reported a record-setting $695 billion in revenue and $59.8 billion in operating profit. Revenue was up 4 percent compared with 2011, while operating profit was up 2% over 2011.
