    It is true that the aerospace industry is dominated by Boeing. The company is in the business from many decades. They are upgrading the system as per the industry demand. The technology research, aerodynamic research, safety advancement are some of the key areas where Boeing leads in the industry.

    I am the big fan of Rolls Royce engines. They are dominating aerospace for many years now. The Rolls Royce engines played the big role in the world war. Their core technology development was seen in the quality of their services. It is a well-known brand in the world.
