Not sure if this is serious. Boeing and Airbus are booked with orders for the next several years. They both could not get a single new order and would have work to do for the next half decade.
if you are really not sure whether this:
is serious, then i recommend to not attempt crossing a street without supervision π
its a valid question.
βAre they orders for whole planes, or for anything boeing might produce such as bolts?β
Does that simplify it for you? Careful crossing the streets
no, it is not.
do you really think that article talking about number of ordered planes suddenly switched to number of spare parts? does that sound logical to you? if you don't recognize such obvious sarcasm, you really shouldn't try to deliver burns to others, you'll just burn yourself in the process.

long story short: the numbers mean whole aircraft. i hope it is simple enough for you.
Took that real personally, huh
They are for whole planes. As these sales figures always are.
FYI same goes for car sales.
Several years is an understatement. At current rates of production it will take at least 14 years to fulfill all orders.
