Boeing Co. said its earnings and revenue fell for the fourth quarter and full year, and the world’s largest airplane maker projected another sales decline in 1995.

Boeing earned $157 million, or 46 cents a share, in the fourth quarter, down from $304 million, or 89 cents per share, a year earlier. Fourth-quarter revenue also fell to $5.1 billion from $5.7 billion a year earlier.

Boeing fared little better over the full year, reporting that net income declined to $856 million, or $2.51 a share, from $1.24 billion, or $3.66 a share, a year earlier.

Sales were $21.9 billion in 1994, compared to $25.4 billion in 1993. The company projected sales this year of between $20 billion and $21 billion.

It said the lower earnings in 1994 were primarily due to fewer commercial aircraft deliveries, higher research and development spending and increased debt expenses. Seattle-based Boeing delivered 270 commercial jets in 1994, down from 330 in 1993. It expects only 230 deliveries this year.
