Recently the headlines across U.S. media outlets haven't been pleasant for Boeing (NYSE: BA ) . Between its lithium-ion batteries smoldering and threatening to catch fire and accusations of lower quality parts from Japanese�suppliers there is a lot of fuel for the fire. There's at least one positive headline for Boeing and its investors: the recent flight test of its X-51A hypersonic aircraft. Let's take a look at why this overlooked headline means much more to the company's future.
Military cuts
Boeing derives about 60% of its revenues from its commercial operating segment while defense brings in nearly all the rest. Boeing has a significant backlog of orders worth $392 billion, yet only $70 billion of that is from its defense segment. U.S. military spending dropped 6% in 2012 and there is an additional $87 billion to be cut this year.�Meanwhile, Russia's military spending rose 16% in 2012, as did China's spending by 7.8%.�

Matula, who is currently a SVP for LiveDeal (LIVE), has a history of association with penny stock failures. An interesting angle is his tie to a lawyer in Las Vegas, Michael Balabon, who purports to have two separate practices, including a bankruptcy/divorce practice and an employment law practice who has acted as Registered Agent for many of these companies. I was unable to reach anyone at either office on several occasions. In any event, Balabon is the registered agent for PLPL. Coincidentally, he served in that role for NVLX as well as well as all of the former subsidiaries and partners the firm used (the new Medical Marijuana Sciences subsidiary too). Recall that the predecessor to PLPL was Diamond Ranch, and Balabon was the RA there as well. Matula has served in I.R. roles for perpetual failures like VelaTel Global (VELA.PK).

Major profits ahead
With a price tag of $52 billion, the KC tanker contract is one of the Pentagon's largest weapons initiatives. Further, some analysts estimate that with future parts and maintenance, the contract worth could climb to $100 billion. This is great news for Boeing, but it's also great news for its subcontractors on the project -- Honeywell International� (NYSE: HON ) is supplying the auxiliary power unit and cabin pressure control unit, Northrop Grumman (NYSE: NOC ) is supplying Large Aircraft Infrared Countermeasures, United Technologies' (NYSE: UTX ) subsidiary Pratt & Whitney is supplying the engines, Rockwell Collins� (NYSE: COL ) is supplying the integrated display system, and Raytheon�is supplying the digital radar-warning receiver. All in all, this is a major initiative for defense contractors, and good news for Boeing is good news for all.�

But United Tech isn't just involved in commercial aircraft. Earlier this month, its engines played a key role in the launch of Northrop Grumman's (NYSE: NOC ) X-47B unmanned aircraft. Although defense-related business has suffered from budget cuts and the constraints of sequestration, it remains an important part of United Tech's overall strategy. A successful test flight recently for United Tech's Sikorsky MH-60R helicopters in connection with a sale to the Australian Defense Ministry also shows the company's international appeal.

At Rolls-Royce (RYCEY), new CEO John Rishton had a busy and fruitful start to his tenure. Most importantly, Rishton began to focus Rolls on areas where the company stood to improve, including cash generation, cost structure and customer service. He also successfully extracted the company from its legacy narrow body civil engine joint-venture with Pratt & Whitney (IAE) for an attractive price, positioned Rolls as exclusive supplier for the Airbus A350-1000, further secured the company�� strong position on the A350 program, and closed the tricky Tognum acquisition which will begin to bear fruit in 2012. While Rolls had not released its 2011 results as of the writing of this letter, both we and the markets expect the company to report mid-to-high single digits revenue growth and low-to-mid-teens earnings growth in the year past.
