It's funny, Boeing doesn't have a real "military" feel to me, more of a passenger jet thing..One day it might be of relevance
Trump awards Boeing contract for 'sixth-generation' F-47 jet
The F-47 fighter jet contract is a boost for Boeing, which has faced slumps in both military and civilian sales.www.bbc.com

For nearly a century, Boeing has produced many of the most advanced combat aircraft for military customers around the globe including the P-51 Mustang, F-4 Phantom, F-15 Eagle, F/A-18 Hornet and EA-18G Growler, among others.

Hi Hoppy,
Hi Dingo.
All good HopalongHi Dingo.
I took your advise and dug a little deeper into the history of Boeing and concede your point that many of the aircraft that earlier paragraph mentions were the products of other companies subsequently absorbed into Boeing.
Although I would hardly call the B17 flying fortress, B29 super fortress or the B52 strato fortress "passenger jet thing's".
I'll let you argue with Boeing as to the semantics of what they claim as "their" pedigree but you can see that after also absorbing Hughes and Northrop and doubtless myriad other smaller fish, over the years, McDonnell Douglas was just part of the picture.
Anyway, Trump seems to think they "feel" military enough so I guess you better fall in line.
It is a royal decree after all.

You're right, absolutely nothing passenger jetty about "those" planes
"The prototype B-17, with the Boeing factory designation of Model 299, was designed by a team of engineers led by E. Gifford Emery and Edward Curtis Wells, and was built at Boeing's own expense.[12] It combined features of the company's experimental XB-15 bomber and 247 transport."

"In 2005, Boeing hired its first CEO without aircraft engineering experience"Sadly, Boeing have lost its way years ago.
Before, their planes were extremely well engineered, like the 747.
The Boeing 737 Max have been a total disaster.
Fantastic story from David Perell below, well worth a read.
Sorry for going off-topic but it's weekend eh!
Why Did The Boeing 737 Max Crash? - David Perell
David analyzes the root causes of the Boeing 737 Max crash. Read here.
In 2005, Boeing hired its first CEO without aircraft engineering experience. Slowly, the company lost its culture of engineering excellence and adopted one of financialization and cost reduction through outsourcing. To illustrate the dangers of outsourcing, Smith points to the DC-10 aircraft, where the subcontractors made all the profits while the McDonnell Douglas absorbed the excess costs. In the aircraft industry, outsourcing commercial aircraft is likely to backfire. Military aircraft are a major exception because Congressional support is easier to secure when many states are involved.¹
Well Dingo, if you mean that both passenger planes and military planes tend to have wings, engines and a fuselage you are absolutely correct.All good Hopalong

“PanocularAI Shows That There’s Another Way
The start-up from Darmstadt has developed a system that runs AI models directly on edge devices—small, energy-efficient devices such as drones, autonomous vehicles, or robots. With PanocularAI’s technology, these devices can independently analyze their surroundings and respond to changes—without relying on external servers.
“Our AI doesn’t just interpret images; it understands context,” explains Dr. Arya Mazaheri. “With our technology, a robot can recognize whether the person in front of it is a construction worker wearing a helmet or someone trespassing in a restricted area.”
An AI That Runs on Edge Devices
PanocularAI is developing an efficient vision solution for the next generation of autonomous systems.
This environmental perception happens in real time with minimal computational effort—a technological breakthrough that could revolutionize many industries. Lower energy consumption, higher speed, and increased security—since no data needs to be sent to external servers—are the key advantages of this innovation.”
