Boeing

One of the pioneers in aircraft construction, with the introduction of the first modern airliner and innovations such as twin-aisle cabins and glass cockpits, Boeing has always been a name linked with aviation. The first Boeing plane was produced in 1916 by Yale graduate William E. Boeing, with the help of his friend George Conrad Westervelt. The company was shortly thereafter incorporated as the Pacific Aero Products Company, which became the Boeing Airline Company two years later.

In 1927 Boeing created its first airline, called Boeing Air Transport, the predecessor of United Airlines. While most airplane service in the 1920’s was only for mail transport, Boeing was originally outstripped in passenger airplanes by Ford’s “Ford Trimotor” which is considered the first American airliner. However, when the Boeing 247 was introduced in 1933, it quickly beat out competition to become known as the first modern airliner.

Boeing came out with the first plane with a pressurized cabin in 1938, and could cruise at higher altitudes than most other planes, allowing it to avoid weather complications. During World War II Boeing cooperated with other major airplane manufacturers to produce many bomber planes, including the iconic B-17.

Despite the cancellation of many of its military contracts after the war, Boeing continued to produce new models of military aircraft throughout the 1950’s and ‘60’s as well as introducing the United State’s first commercial jetliner, the 707, and its later model, the 727. In the 1970’s Boeing introduced the first 747, a model that revolutionized passenger flight with its greatly increased seat number and its upper deck. Although later model have undergone changes, the 747 remains a common passenger flight.
Fit them in the 80s and 90s, Boeing continues to models, especially the 777 and 737, both of which are still popular today and mit einer Boing nach USA fliegen is special. Despite charges of unethical conduct in 2003 which led to the resignation of both the CEO and the firing of the CFO, Boeing continues to bring in lucrative contracts with NASA, the American military, and many major American passenger airlines.
