NYT > Boeing Company
The word big does not begin to describe Boeing, a global aviation leader and the worlds second largest military contractor. Nearly 12,000 Boeing jetliners command the skies, from the small and popular 737 to the massive two-level 747, the worlds first superjumbo jet. Boeings military lineup includes a fleet of cargo planes, Chinook and other helicopters and the F-22 Raptor, the newest, fastest and most expensive fighter jet. And if someone put a sticker on the International Space Station, Boeing could claim a spot there, too.
Founded in 1916 by William E. Boeing, the company has grown through decades of innovative aircraft designs and the acquisition of such venerable names in aviation as McDonnell Douglas and Rockwell International. Today, the company has 150,000 employees in 49 states and 70 countries and reported revenues of $66.4 billion in 2007, with 40 percent from overseas. Long a symbol of the Seattle economy, it relocated its headquarters to Chicago in 2000.
It is hard to find an airport anywhere without a Boeing commercial jet a brand as ubiquitous around the world as Coca-Cola and McDonalds. Starting with the four-engine 707 in 1954, the Boeing family of jets has grown to include the 727, 737, 757, 747, 767 and 777. The single-aisle, twin-jet 737 is the best-selling airliner in Boeing history, with over 6,000 purchased. For almost 40 years, Boeings 747 was the largest commercial jet in the skies, only to be overtaken recently by Airbuss even larger twin-decked A380.

But if big describes the company and its products, it also describes its challenges. In commercial aviation, the company is locked in a global slugfest with its European archrival, Airbus, which overtook Boeing as market leader in 2003.
Boeing is staking its future on the innovative 787, a new design that uses carbon fiber rather than aluminum and innovative new jet engines to produce a plane that will be able to fly farther on less fuel. With more than 850 orders worth $100 billion from 50 airlines, the 787 Dreamliner is the fastest-selling aircraft in commercial aviation history. But the 787s far-flung supply chain and a complex design has led to a troubling series of production delays.
On the military side, in a stunning upset in early 2008, the Air Force awarded a $40 billion contract for aerial refueling tankers to a partnership of Airbus and Northrop Grumman. Boeing, which holds the existing tanker contract and is one of the Air Forces main suppliers, fought hard to land the contract. Since then, it has been waging an intense public relations campaign in Washington and filed a formal protest to have it overturned.
The Airbus tanker award came after Boeing was at the center of one of the biggest Pentagon scandals in years. In 2001, the Air Force and Boeing were near final approval of a sole-source contract in which the Air Force would lease 767 aerial tankers from Boeing. But Congressional scrutiny scuttled the deal and soon after, it was revealed that the Air Forces No. 2 weapons buyer had tilted the contract to Boeing in return for employment there. In the end, the scandal lead to the jailing of the former Air Force weapons buyer as well as Boeings chief financial officer. It also led to the departure of Philip M. Condit, Boeings chief executive.
As the Boeing-Airbus rivalry continues to play out in the halls of Congress, in airline boardrooms and among the worlds biggest military forces, Boeing is looking to put the recent turbulence behind it and enjoy smooth flying once again.
