Not saying you're wrong but curious where you get 'many years out' numbers from.
Tuesday, European aerospace giant Airbus EADSY -0.25% announced it had drummed up 1,036 plane orders last year, figure that has the company soundly beating rival Boeing BA -0.56% in 2015. Pushing Airbus’s total order backlog to a record-setting 6,787 aircraft, the new orders mean the company has roughly $1 trillion dollars worth of new airplanes slated for delivery over the next decade.
