CNBC PRESENTS “DREAMLINER: INSIDE THE WORLD’S MOST ANTICIPATED AIRPLANE”
The documentary also looks at the other side of Boeing: defense. Although helping the U.S. wage war has long been a major and lucrative part of the company’s business, it’s also been plagued by a series of scandals.

CNBC takes a close look at Boeing’s newest weapon—a drone called the Scan Eagle, which weighs less than a typical carry-on bag, and costs roughly $100,000.
