The History of Boeing over the Last Century The Boeing Company‚ founded in 1916 by William E. Boeing‚ is a successful manufacturer of military and civil aircraft‚ based in Seattle‚ Washington State. They have manufactured many aircraft over the last 99 years‚ some of which have become extremely popular‚ including the Model 314‚ the 307‚ the 737‚ and the 747. In this report‚ I will attempt to give a brief overview of the history of the Boeing Company over the last century. William Edward Boeing was

The Wright brothers‚ Orville and Wilbur were two American credited with inventing and building the world’s first successful airplane and making the first controlled‚ powered human flight on December 17 1903. How does the airplane work? When air flows past and airplane wing‚ it breaks into two airstreams. The one that goes under the wing encounters the wings surface‚ which acts as a ramp and pushes the air downward and forward

has wanted to fly. The first attempts were efforts to fly like a bird by attaching feathers to their arms and flapping. Those attempts were unsuccessful. The first successful air flight was in a hot air balloon‚ surprisingly not in a mechanical aircraft. In 1783 a few men invented the first flying machine by making the hot air balloon. A hot air balloon is a balloon filled with heated air. Since heated air is lighter than cool air‚ the balloon would rise into the sky. The pilot would ride in a basket

Until now however‚ the flight data stored in the FDR’s has only been used in a reactive manner for the analysis of accidents and incidents. Many airlines operating fixed wing aircraft have adopted a pro active approach to improve operational safety by analyzing flight data on a routine basis to provide better visibility of their operation in flight operations quality Assurance (FOQA) programmes.
