About The Boeing Company
Boeing is an American aerospace and defense company that designs, manufactures, and services commercial jetliners, military aircraft, satellites, missile defense systems, and uncrewed systems. Its operations are organized into Commercial Airplanes, Defense, Space & Security, and Global Services segments.
Commercial products include the 737 MAX, 777, 777X, and 787 Dreamliner families of jetliners. Defense and space products include the F/A-18 Super Hornet, F-15EX, AH-64 Apache and CH-47 Chinook helicopters, the MQ-28 Ghost Bat uncrewed collaborative combat aircraft developed by Boeing Australia, the Starliner crew capsule, and various satellite and missile defense systems built for the U.S. military and government customers.
Boeing traces its origins to the Pacific Aero Products Company founded by William Boeing in 1916 in Seattle. The company moved its headquarters to Chicago in 2001 and relocated again to Arlington, Virginia in 2022. It is listed on the New York Stock Exchange and has faced significant scrutiny in recent years over the 737 MAX program following two fatal crashes in 2018 and 2019, and over quality-control issues identified after a 2024 door-plug incident involving a 737 MAX 9.
