About Boeing

What is Boeing?

Boeing is an aerospace and defence company best known for manufacturing commercial jetliners. Headquartered in Chicago, Boeing also develops military aircraft, satellites, missile defence systems, human space flight and launch systems.

The company was founded in 1916 by William Edward Boeing, who, together with Conrad Westervelt designed and built a single-engine, two-seater plane. These days the business has a diverse range of aircraft, including the world’s best-selling commercial plane, the Boeing 737. Boeing counts some of the world’s leading airlines as its customers, although its military and defence contracts with the U.S. government provide much of it’s revenue.

How does Boeing make money?

Selling commercial jetliners, providing military and defence aircraft and services to governments, and financing its customers. Boeing’s business is split into four segments: Commercial Aeroplanes, Defense Space and Security, Global Services, and Boeing Capital. Its financing segment is by far its smallest and generates just a few million dollars in revenue annually. Its other three segments are split evenly, each earning billions of dollars for the business.

What is Boeing’s best selling product?

The 737 Max is Boeing best selling plane. The commercial jet was first produced in 1996 and the company has sold nearly 11,000 to many of the world’s airlines. However, in 2018 and 2019, two fatal crashes damaged the reputation of the 737 and a decline in orders followed. With a price between $99 million and $100 million, the 737 is not only Boeings best selling jet, it’s also one of the company’s biggest earners.

Who are the key executives at Boeing?

Recent crashes and the coronavirus pandemic made the company struggle financially for the first time in many years. A change of leadership was made to help the business back to profitability and its CEO has only been in place for a couple of years. Here’s a list of some of Boeing’s top executives.
