Boeing identified a software glitch in the 737 MAX that can disable the autopilot navigation feature during landing after a go-around, increasing pilot workload. The FAA stated the issue is not a flight-safety risk but delayed certification of the 737 MAX 10. Boeing is rolling back software to maintain deliveries, while Southwest and United Airlines requested older software versions. A permanent fix is not expected until 2028.

NASA announced a revised plan for Boeing's troubled Starliner spacecraft, delaying its first crewed mission to 2028 and scheduling an uncrewed test flight for late 2024 or early 2025. The spacecraft may require a new rocket, and NASA named a commander for the future mission. Boeing expressed excitement about becoming the sole U.S. astronaut transportation provider. The delays follow technical failures that left astronauts stranded at the ISS in 2024.

The U.S. Air Force awarded Boeing a $2.38 billion contract on September 29 for 22 F-15EX Eagle II fighters under Lot 7, bringing total aircraft on order to 120. The deal used funds from the 2026 budget and the "One Big Beautiful Bill" reconciliation package, meeting a September 30 fiscal-year deadline to avoid an 8.3% reduction on unspent funds. The contract reflects adjustments for 2025 production disruptions and inflation.

The U.S. Navy has selected Boeing to develop its sixth-generation carrier-based fighter, the F/A-XX, awarding a full-scale development contract valued at over $20 billion. The contract includes multiple test aircraft for ground, airworthiness, systems, and weapons integration testing. The F/A-XX is expected to augment and eventually replace F/A-18E/F Super Hornets and EA-18G Growlers beginning in the 2030s, operating alongside the F-35. The selection follows Boeing's 2025 win of the U.S. Air Force's F-47 sixth-generation fighter program.

The US Commerce Department reported that core capital goods orders, a proxy for business equipment investment, rose 1.6% in August, exceeding economists' expectations. July's figure was revised upward to 0.6%. Overall durable goods orders were flat, as a decline in Boeing's commercial aircraft orders offset gains in machinery, computers, and electrical equipment. The data, driven partly by AI-related spending, supports forecasts for strong third-quarter GDP growth.
