Aircraft accounted for 5 percent of total military expenditures on aerospace products in 1.2 In the civil aerospace sector, the commercial transport market boomed during the mid- to late-1s. Total sales of civilian aircraft rose steadily from $2.5 billion in 1 to $3.4 billion in 1. The backlog of unfilled domestic orders for civil transport aircraft grew from 2 units at the end of 1 to 5 units at the end of 1. 2 This increase in demand can be attributed to many factors, including increased passenger traffic and greater airline profits, which enabled the airlines to finance purchases of new aircraft. Increased traffic also strained the airlines' capacities, necessitating the purchase of larger, more modern aircraft The traveling public' perception of older planes as unreliable provided marketing justification for these purchases. The trend towards stricter noise standards at airports has led to choice between installing hush-kits on existing engines, replacement (where possible) of older engines with newer ones, or replacement of the aircraft. The last decade has also seen growth in the number of aircraft-leasing companies which have accounted for growing percentage of the new aircraft orders. Finally, the increase in demand for airfreight services has resulted in greater-than-normal orders for cargo planes. Other segments of the civil aerospace market have been weak. The demand for nonmilitary helicopters and general aviation aircraft has declined si
