its a valid question.

“Are they orders for whole planes, or for anything boeing might produce such as bolts?”

Does that simplify it for you? Careful crossing the streets

They are for whole planes. As these sales figures always are.

FYI same goes for car sales.

its a valid question.

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.
