Abstract
The article describes specific features of aerospace company 'Boeing' functioning from the point of view of its contribution to the development of the war- industrial complex and armed forces of the USA. The author pays attention to the current and perspective technologies, achievements in the field of research and development and to challenges which the company faces while implementing its projects. In spite of optimistic statements made by high-rank spokesmen of US administration and defence officials the situation in the war-industrial complex can be characterized by negative trends, which could be proved by finance indicators of the company work.
