+==History==
+{{main|History of Boeing}}
+
+===Origins===
+The Boeing Company was started in 1916, when American lumber industrialist [[William E. Boeing]] founded Pacific Aero Products Company in Seattle, Washington. Shortly before doing so, he and Conrad Westervelt created the [[Boeing Model 1|"B&W" seaplane]].<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.aerotime.aero/articles/32338-story-of-boeing-from-single-plane-to-aerospace-giant |title=The story of Boeing: from single plane to aerospace giant |website=aerotime.aero |language=en |access-date=May 3, 2023 |date=October 11, 2022 |first=Gabriele|last=Petrauskaite}}</ref> In 1917, the organization was renamed Boeing Airplane Company, with William Boeing forming Boeing Airplane & Transport Corporation in 1928.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.historylink.org/file/8023 |title=Boeing, William Edward (1881–1956) |work=[[HistoryLink]] |first1=John |last1=Schultz |first2=David |last2=Wilma |publication-date=December 21, 2006}}</ref> In 1929, the company was renamed [[United Aircraft and Transport Corporation]], followed by the acquisition of several aircraft makers such as Avion, Chance [[Vought]], [[Sikorsky Aircraft|Sikorsky Aviation]], [[Stearman Aircraft]], [[Pratt & Whitney]], and Hamilton Metalplane.<ref name=Britannica_Boe/>
+
+In 1931, the group merged its four smaller airlines into [[United Airlines]]. In 1934, aircraft manufacturing was required to be separate from air transportation.<ref name="Encyclopedia Britannica">{{cite web |url=https://www.britannica.com/topic/United-Airlines |title=United Airlines {{!}} American corporation |website=Encyclopedia Britannica |language=en |access-date=January 24, 2020 |archive-date=May 10, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200510035622/https://www.britannica.com/topic/United-Airlines |url-status=live}}</ref> Therefore, Boeing Airplane Company became one of three major groups to arise from the dissolution of United Aircraft and Transport; the other two entities were [[United Aircraft]] (later [[United Technologies]]) and United Airlines.<ref name=Britannica_Boe/><ref name="Encyclopedia Britannica" />
+
+In 1960, the company bought [[Piasecki Helicopter|Vertol Aircraft Corporation]], which at the time, was the biggest independent manufacturer of [[helicopter]]s.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://yucommentator.org/2019/12/crash-landing/ |title=Crash Landing |date=December 22, 2019 |website=The Commentator |access-date=January 24, 2020 |archive-date=July 27, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200727030644/https://yucommentator.org/2019/12/crash-landing/ |url-status=live}}</ref> During the 1960s and 1970s, the company diversified into industries such as outer space travel, marine craft, agriculture, energy production and transit systems.<ref name=Britannica_Boe/>
+
+=== Sea Launch ===
+In 1995, Boeing partnered with Russian, Ukrainian, and Anglo-Norwegian organizations to create [[Sea Launch]], a company providing commercial launch services sending satellites to geostationary orbit from floating platforms.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.spacedaily.com/reports/What_Happened_to_Sea_Launch_999.html |title=What Happened to Sea Launch |website=Space Daily |access-date=January 24, 2020 |archive-date=December 14, 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181214012227/http://www.spacedaily.com/reports/What_Happened_to_Sea_Launch_999.html |url-status=live}}</ref> In 2000, Boeing acquired the satellite segment of [[Hughes Electronics]].<ref name=Britannica_Boe>{{cite web |author=Stanley I.

+
+=== Merger with McDonnell Douglas ===
+In December 1996, Boeing announced its intention to merge with [[McDonnell Douglas]], which, following regulatory approval, was completed on August 4, 1997.<ref>{{cite news |last=Skapinker |first=Michael |date=August 5, 1997 |title= Boeing completes McDonnell Douglas takeover |work=Financial Times |location=London}}</ref> The delay was caused by objections from the [[European Commission]], which ultimately placed three conditions on the merger: exclusivity agreements with three US airlines would be terminated, separate accounts would be maintained for the McDonnell-Douglas civil aircraft business, and some defense patents were to be made available to competitors.<ref>{{cite news |last=Skapinker |first=Michael |date=September 23, 1997 |title=World's skies are dominated by US |work=Financial Times |location=London}}</ref> In 2020, ''[[Quartz (publication)|Quartz]]'' reported that after the merger there was a "clash of corporate cultures, where Boeing's engineers and McDonnell Douglas's bean-counters went head-to-head", which the latter won, and that this may have contributed to the events leading up to the 737 MAX crash crisis.<!--details in [[History of Boeing]]--><ref name=frost>{{Cite news |title=The 1997 merger that paved the way for the Boeing 737 Max crisis |last=Frost |first=Natasha |website=yahoo!finance |publisher=Originally published by Quartz |date=January 3, 2020 |url=https://finance.yahoo.com/news/1997-merger-paved-way-boeing-090042193.html |access-date=February 22, 2022 |archive-date=February 22, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220222184520/https://finance.yahoo.com/news/1997-merger-paved-way-boeing-090042193.html |url-status=live}}</ref>

+===Electric propulsion===
+For NASA's N+3 future airliner program, Boeing has determined that [[Hybrid electric aircraft|hybrid electric]] engine technology is by far the best choice for its subsonic design. Hybrid electric propulsion has the potential to shorten takeoff distance and reduce noise. Boeing created a team to study electric propulsion in future generation of subsonic commercial aircraft. SUGAR for Subsonic Ultra Green Aircraft Research includes BR&T, Boeing Commercial Airplanes, General Electric, and Georgia Tech. There are five main concepts the team is reviewing. SUGAR-Free and Refined SUGAR, are two concepts based on conventional aircraft similar to the 737. SUGAR High and SUGAR Volt, are both high-span, strut-based wing concepts. The final concept is SUGAR Ray, which is a wing-body hybrid. The SUGAR Volt concept has resulted in a drop in fuel burn by more than 70 percent and a reduction of total energy use by 55%. This reduction is the result of adding an electric battery gas turbine hybrid propulsion system.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.boeing.com/Features/2010/06/corp_envision_06_14_10.html |title=Boeing Feature Story: Envisioning tomorrow's aircraft |publisher=Boeing |date=August 16, 2010 |access-date=May 21, 2011 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130906062915/http://www.boeing.com/Features/2010/06/corp_envision_06_14_10.html |archive-date=September 6, 2013}}</ref>

+Between 2010 and 2018, Boeing increased its operating [[cash flow]] from $3 to $15.3{{nbsp}}billion (€2.7 to 13.78B), sustaining its [[Share (finance)|share]] price, by negotiating [[advance payment]]s from customers and delaying payments to its suppliers. This strategy is sustainable only as long as orders are good and delivery rates are increasing.<ref>{{cite news |url= https://www.seattletimes.com/business/boeing-aerospace/for-boeing-juggling-cash-flow-often-means-another-houdini-moment/ |title= For Boeing, juggling cash flow often means "another 'Houdini moment'" |date= February 8, 2019 |author= Dominic Gates |author-link=Dominic Gates |newspaper= The Seattle Times |access-date= February 15, 2019 |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20190215160219/https://www.seattletimes.com/business/boeing-aerospace/for-boeing-juggling-cash-flow-often-means-another-houdini-moment/ |archive-date= February 15, 2019 |url-status= live}}</ref>

+In 2020, Boeing's second quarter revenue was $11.8 billion (€10.6B) as a result of the pandemic slump.
