Boeing 747 - A History: Delivering the Dream book about one type of airplane? At first I was afraid for an endless list of facts. But the development and course of life of this iconic plane however read like a novel: red ears from time to time, a lot of astonishment and sometimes straight emotion! After the Boeing and dreaming about a supersonic next step in Europe concretised, but financial a black holeBoeing came in with the Jumbo Jet. For more than 20 years Boeing had no competition! The development, the taking in use of planes sold from the drawing table! Once I was chef Aviation at Fokker during the prototype building of the Fokker 50 and and did I sign for air credibility Boeing 747 - A History: Delivering the Dream the first flight of both types. From that perspective I have mostly read the part about the development of this plane letter by letter. The scars on my soul, inflicted by Fokker, came upon me loud and clear again! During the development as well as during the operational use there were climaxes and down falls. First the engines gave a lot of reason for worry; during the use by airlines and maintenance around the whole world some things have gone horribly wrong. The detailed description of the accidents as a sober fact list and without any blown up drama, I find of a high standard. Bizarre detail is that in both cases they first thought it was a control fault. The user results of the different types of the plane and the way in which continuously response was given to the market developments fill a huge and interesting part of this book. The Airbus with her A forms the conclusion in it: finally an airplane that is bigger and also has a large growing capacity. I find this book about the course of life of the Boeing an achievement; surely also for the flight technical information. A particular book for the interested reader!

I was the Boeing Field Service representative stationed in Nairobi, Kenya, and I was privileged to be part of the initial delivery for Kenya Airlines. My story is quite simple. I am a former employee of a Boeing subsidiary that manufactured the gearboxes for the CH Chinook helicopter. I am an aviation enthusiast who immediately fell in love with the sleek, beautiful, smoky and noisy Boeing I started working for Boeing on contract in September of and was officially hired in January of In delivering new airplanes to foreign customers, Boeing would often use Boeing pilots to fly the airplanes miles offshore.

  • Boeing Corporation the Challenge of Being Ethical and Competitive
    Boeing Corporation The Challenge of Being Ethical and Competitive “Because we dared to dream, dared to work hard, we have turned dreams into realities, to leave some huge footprints on every aerospace frontier. Now it is time to create some new footprints!” ~ Phil Condit, CEO, 1996 Boeing Chief Executive Phil Condit stared blankly at the road early Saturday evening as he drove to Boeing Headquarters. He drummed his fingers on the steering wheel, contemplating the crucial decision at hand. The Boeing Board of Directors was to gather that night to decide whether or not to fire Chief Financial Officer and Executive Vice President Mike Sears and Darleen Druyun, the Vice President of Missile-Defense Systems. Recent events had caused executives to question the appropriateness of the hiring of Druyun by Sears. Sears offered Druyun a job last year while she was employed as an acquisition official for the U.S. Air Force. At the time, she was reviewing a $21 billion proposal for the Air Force to lease 100 Boeing 767 air-borne-refueling tankers. Boeing assigned external and in-house lawyers to review Sears and Druyun’s conduct more than a month ago. In the initial stages of the investigation the lawyers did not find any impropriety; two weeks ago however, the fate of Boeing changed when the lawyers uncovered improper contact between Sears and Druyun. The lawyers discovered evidence from e-mails and interviews that Sears’ contacted Druyun about employment with Boeing in October 2002, while she was reviewing the tanker contract. This directly violated Boeing’s hiring policies.

From the Cold War to the fall of the Berlin Wall, the defense contracting industry has had to reinvent itself to adapt to different cycles of war(i). With the homeland attacks of 9/11 and the paradigm shift in the approach to and execution of war, defense contractors have consistently had to meet new procurement demands. Given the current state of the US economy and fiscal pressures faced by the Obama government, defense contractors will also have to address shareholder expectations by being prepared for an era of multilateral budgetary compressions. The US defense budget for 2010 was $693.4 billion, and the 2011 Budget for the Department of Defense only provides a 3.4 percent increase over the 2010 enacted level1. On the global level, the post-1990s industry consolidation has left a highly regulated playing field, vastly dominated by American industrialists. Today, four of the top five largest ranking defense contracting companies in the world are headquartered in the US2 and hold a total of market capitalization exceeding $125 billion3.
