| The AH-64D Apache Longbow is the most lethal, survivable,
deployable and maintainable multimission combat helicopter
in the world. In addition to multiyear contracts from
the U.S. Army for 501 Apache Longbow helicopters, Boeing
is under contract to deliver advanced Apaches to Egypt,
Israel, Singapore, The Netherlands and the United Kingdom.
Japan is finalizing an agreement for new AH-64Ds, and
several other nations are considering the Apache Longbow
for their defense forces. |

|
| Preparation is under way for a new modernization program
for the U.S. Army’s CH-47 Chinook. The CH-47F is
scheduled to enter service in 2004 with several major
system improvements. Under this program, Chinooks will
remain in Army service until at least 2035 and will achieve
an unprecedented 75-year service life. Boeing is also
manufacturing CH-47SD Chinooks for international customers. |

| The Boeing-Sikorsky team is developing the RAH-66 Comanche,
the U.S. Army’s 21st-Century combat helicopter. In
2002, the program will validate aircraft systems in extensive
flight tests and will prepare for development of additional
production-representative aircraft for operational test,
evaluation and training. |

| In partnership with Bell Helicopter Textron, Boeing
developed the revolutionary V-22 Osprey tiltrotor aircraft.
Carrying greater payload at altitudes and distances of
turbo-prop transports, the multiservice, multimission
aircraft is being delivered to the U.S. Marine Corps (360)
and the U.S. Air Force Special Operations Command (50).
The U.S. Navy is scheduled to take delivery of 48 V-22s. |

| The Space Shuttle is the world’s only operational,
reusable and human-rated launch vehicle. Boeing builds,
maintains, modifies and, as a United Space Alliance partner,
operates the Shuttle system. Boeing also builds, tests
and performs flight processing for the Shuttle’s
main engines – the world’s only reusable liquid-fueled
large rocket engines. Boeing-developed upgrades could
enable the Shuttle to fly to 2030 and beyond. |

|
| The Boeing Delta II is a medium-capacity expendable
launch vehicle derived from the Delta family of rockets
built and launched since 1960. Delta II has become the
industry standard for reliability, on-time delivery of
payloads to orbit, and customer satisfaction since its
introduction in 1989. Delta II enjoys a 98-percent success
rate for 100 launches as of year-end 2001. |

|
|
| |
|
 |
|
| Developed to address the needs of the commercial launch
market, Delta III provides a GTO capability of 8,400 pounds
(3,810 kilograms), nearly twice the payload of the workhorse
Delta II. With the successful launch of Delta III on August
23, 2000, the performance of operational Delta vehicles
has nearly doubled. |

|
 |
|
| The Delta IV family of launch vehicles is aimed at reducing
space launch costs by at least 25 percent. The Delta IV
family includes five variants: one Medium, three Medium-Plus
and one Heavy. Delta IV vehicles can lift payloads ranging
from 9,285 pounds (4,210 kg) to 28,950 pounds (13,130
kg) to geosynchronous transfer orbit and are designed
to meet the needs of the commercial and U.S. government
launch markets. |

| Sea Launch is an international company led by Boeing
with partners from firms in Russia, Ukraine and Norway.
Sea Launch offers commercial launch services from a mobile
sea-based platform positioned on the equator. Sea Launch
has had five successful missions since its inaugural launch
in 1999. World Headquarters and Home Port are located
in Long Beach, Calif. |

| Boeing is prime contractor to NASA for the design, development
and on-orbit performance of the International Space Station.
The first components were joined in orbit in 1998. In
2000, the station began hosting humans and, by 2005, will
permanently house up to seven crew members. Station assembly
will require more than 40 U.S. and Russian launches. |
