Research Paper On Boeing

Another reason as to why i chose to write about William Boeing is that the company he founded, Boeing ,is my favorite airliner company because I like the style of their airplanes and I enjoy the other things they do as a company such as contributing to various aerospace projects such as satellites and high-tech airplanes.

William E. Boeing was a man that founded the Boeing Company on July 15, 1916, in Seattle, Washington. William E. Boeing made a timber company in seattle before founding Pacific Aero Products Co, which would eventually be named
When the Boeing company was relatively new, its competitors were Howard Hughes, Donald Douglass, Jack Northrop, James McDonnell and Glenn Martin and though most of these companies would become merged into the boeing company they proved to provide competition that would impose many obstacles and problems to Boeing.

This idea of commercial fight would not become popular until the late 1920’s when aircraft started to become more modern and this started to revolutionise the way we travel in our lives. Boeing advanced airplanes with
Boeing continues to advance the aerospace industry through their innovative airplanes, for example the Boeing 777x which is set to be available to the public by 2020, and boeing describes the new planes as “the future of flight unfolding. [it’s] That's a better way to fly.”(Introducing the 777X, Written by: Boeing, Date: N/A, http://www.boeing.com/commercial/777x/). The company that William Boeing founded would eventually become one of the aerospace giants that dominated the aerospace
