Examples are in public utilities, making military aircraft and accessories, or where the investment and risk for a proprietorship would be too great for a much needed project impossible to achieve by any means other than the corporate form, e.g. constructing major airports or dams.

The decreases, which are largely in construction and in aircraft procurement, are offset in part by increases for research and development and for procurement of other military equipment such as tanks, vehicles, guns, and electronic devices.

Why, then, aren't we planning a larger, more important role for manned military aircraft??

Use nuclear propulsions to keep our long-range military aircraft in the air for the majority of their useful life.
