Boeing Delivers Most Jets in February Since 2017, Faces Inspection Bottleneck
Boeing logged its strongest February aircraft deliveries since 2017, marking a significant recovery in shipments, but ongoing factory quality inspections continue to bottleneck output. Anduril’s acquisition of ExoAnalytic adds 400+ global telescopes and analytics, boosting its push for the U.S. Golden Dome space missile defense layer.
1. Boeing Posts Record February Deliveries
Boeing delivered the highest number of aircraft in February since 2017, reflecting improved production flow after earlier supply-chain disruptions. Despite the surge, rigorous quality inspections at key assembly lines continue to slow overall throughput and may delay future shipments.
2. Anduril Acquires ExoAnalytic Telescope Network
Anduril completed its purchase of ExoAnalytic Solutions, integrating more than 400 telescopes that track objects in orbit into its AI-based defense toolkit. This acquisition bolsters Anduril’s capability to supply real-time space sensor data for the Golden Dome program aimed at intercepting ballistic, cruise, and hypersonic missile threats.
