The history of the world's largest aircraft manufacturer.
Very few companies can proudly claim to have been in production for 100 years. With a focus on the most relevant events that shaped the giant that Boeing is today, the reader will understand how the extraordinary achievements of pioneers Bill Boeing, Donald Douglas, James McDonnell, and James Kindelberger contributed to human history and landed a man on the moon.
No one today doubts that Boeing has been the most important aircraft manufacturer in history, and its life is inextricably linked to the birth of aviation.
From the first airplane made of welded metal, the PW-9, to the latest advances in composite materials used in the 777X, Boeing has pioneered technological and industrial developments that are now used around the world for the benefit of all. We will learn how a Boeing is manufactured in Everett, the largest indoor building in the world. Boeing was also the first to make a commercial flight, in 1927, and this Avion Revue International special explains how Boeing engineers shape the airline industry and how airlines and their passengers benefit from the knowledge, safety and capabilities amassed by Boeing over a century.
We talk about iconic aircraft like the 737, the Jumbo, the DC-s, the MD-s, the Dreamliner, but also the Chinook, the Apache and the Osprey, as well as the B-52, B-2, C-17, F-86, F-100, FH-1, A-4 and, of course, the F-18, just to mention a few in this memorable saga.
