and services are expected to net about $33.6 billion and missiles $20.2 billion.” (Ghim-Lay, Yeo). The Boeing Aircraft Company has dominated the commercial aircraft market for decades. “Boeing delivered a record-setting 723 commercial airplanes in 2014, holding its status as the world’s largest airplane manufacturer for the third consecutive year. Boeing’s wide body airplanes – 747-8, 767, 777, and 787 Dreamliner – accounted for more than 60% of all twin-aisle deliveries last year, and the
In 1988, at a time when the Boeing 747 reigned as undisputed master on the large aircraft sector, the idea of Airbus to start talks about about the feasibility of a very large aircraft seemed senseless. However, by having talks about this idea with airlines, the Airbus team received very positive support. The idea of a big European air monster capable of competing with the Boeing 747 and stopping its monopolistic dynamic by creating a credible competitor seduced potential customers and stakeholders
to better pilot utilization and lower training costs. These advances help explain why Airbus had received over half of the total large aircraft orders for the first time in 1999. Although gaining market share, Airbus faced intense rivalry with The Boeing Company, whose unique importance in the US economy as a whole and rich history allowed it to become

Today Boeing has an aircraft that can seat over 500 people, and one that can fly over 9,300 nautical miles in its 777x program. That's 1/3 of the way around the globe without stopping! Currently, Boeing Commercial employs over 80,000 workers in the United States supporting the Pacific Northwest and the South East portions of the country for main manufacturing
William Boeing bought his first plane and taught himself how to fly in the early 1900’s and as soon as he left the ground crashed his seaplane and nearly destroyed it. Once he destroyed the plane he started to realize that because it would take so long for him to get the necessary parts to make his plane airworthy again he could build his own custom plane in a shorter amount of time. The fascination with seaplanes directed him toward building his own seaplane with his friend G.C. Westervelt in
definition why can’t we do the same with the FDR data? In light of the AF447 tragedy there has been a tremendous amount of research into aircraft streaming fight data if the aircraft detects a potential crash condition. On September 3, 2010 a UPS 747-400 successfully uplinked flight using a streaming data before a fatal catastrophic crash due to a cargo fire (Werfelman, Narowing the search). This data was streamed live in real-time to the UPS command center in Lexington, KY. UPS was aware the
