与“company:Boeing”匹配的图钉

Boeing's Model 314 Clipper flying boat made its 38-minute first flight over Puget Sound, piloted by test pilot Eddie Allen. The giant flying boat went on to open Pan Am's first non-stop transatlantic passenger service.

Boeing finished construction of its Everett, Washington factory in 1967 to build the 747, creating what is still the world's largest building by volume. Aerospace Manufacturing features the plant, which now also produces the 767, 777 and 787.

Boeing handed over the first 747-8 Freighter to launch customer Cargolux at its Everett, Washington widebody plant, putting the largest version of the 747 into commercial cargo service.

The Air Force announced a deal to purchase two new aircraft from Boeing in 2017 that will serve as the future Air Force One under the next several presidents. The planes, two 747-8 jets, will begin transitioning to the Air Force One configuration in 2019, with initial operational capacity slated for 2024.

The new coating is 12 times more effective than current ceramics. Dennis Muilenburg, CEO of Boeing has said that hypersonic passenger jets could be in the air within the next ten years. These aircraft would cut travel times by up to 700 percent. This would mean a flight from Shanghai to New York would be reduced from 15 hours to just two.

The FAA granted Boeing an amended type certificate for the 737-7, clearing the smallest and longest-range MAX variant for commercial service after a test programme that began in 2018 and ran more than 1,000 hours.

Boeing says the first 777-9 will be delivered in 2027, seven years late, after taking a $4.9 billion charge; Lufthansa is the launch customer, with delivery currently scheduled for mid-2027, and Emirates has signalled it is planning for late 2027.
