** NASA announces the names of 4 companies awarded contracts to help build Space Station Freedom: Boeing Aerospace, General Electric's Astro-Space Division, McDonnell Douglas, and the Rocketdyne Division of Rockwell.

By 2000, Hughes Space and Communications ( now Boeing Satellite Development Center ) had built nearly 40 percent of the more than one hundred satellites in service worldwide.

With the Space Race underway and Boeing having " put Seattle on the map " as " an aerospace city ", a major theme of the fair was to show that " the United States was not really ' behind ' the Soviet Union in the realms of science and space.

Pratt & Whitney Rocketdyne ( PWR ) was formed in 2005 when Pratt & Whitney Space Propulsion and Rocketdyne Propulsion & Power were merged following the latter's acquisition from Boeing.

Boeing and Lockheed Martin also maintain extensive production facilities throughout the South Bay, and Raytheon's Space and Airborne Systems business unit is based in El Segundo.

GOES spacecraft have been manufactured by Boeing ( GOES D-H and N – P ) and Space Systems / Loral ( A – C and I – M ).

It is also the home of the Shuttle Carrier Aircraft ( SCA ), a modified Boeing 747 designed to carry the Space Shuttle back to Kennedy Space Center in the case the Orbiter landed at Edwards.

The E-3 Sentry was built by the Boeing Defense and Space Group ( now Integrated Defense Systems ) and is based on the Boeing 707-320 aircraft.

This is a specific system with a rotating radar dome " rotodome " radome designed and built by Boeing ( Defense & Space Group ) using Westinghouse ( now Northrop Grumman ) radar.

Hindustan Aeronautics has a long history of collaboration with several other international and domestic aerospace agencies such as Airbus, Boeing, Sukhoi Aviation Corporation, Elbit Systems, Israel Aircraft Industries, RSK MiG, BAE Systems, Rolls-Royce plc, Dassault Aviation, Dornier Flugzeugwerke, the Indian Aeronautical Development Agency and the Indian Space Research Organisation.

* November 18 – The first Space Shuttle, Enterprise, is flown to Washington Dulles International Airport atop a Boeing 747 Shuttle Carrier Aircraft and transferred from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration to the Smithsonian Institution for eventual museum display.

In 1947 the Boeing 377 Stratocruiser entered the industry with a completely different design than Douglas and Lockheed aircraft.

NASA and Boeing are currently developing a blended wing body design in which the entire airframe, from wingtip to wingtip, contributes lift.

* Boeing 247 – the first design to incorporate modern features such as all-metal construction and retractable landing gear

Boeing began using FTA for civil aircraft design around 1966.

The trijet design has been effectively dismissed due to higher maintenance and fuel costs, and only the heaviest widebody aircraft today are built with four engines ( the Airbus A340, Airbus A380 and Boeing 747 ).

An interesting design constraint of the Trent 900 engines is that they are designed to fit into a Boeing 747-400F freighter for relatively easy transport by air cargo.

Apollo's largest customers were Mentor Graphics ( electronic design ), General Motors, Ford, Chrysler, Chicago Research and Trading ( Options and Futures ) and Boeing ( mechanical design ).

From 1915 pilots trained on the Walsh Brothers Flying Boats including Curtiss machines, aircraft of their own design and, later in the war, the first two aircraft made by Boeing.

A number of companies, including Boeing, McDonnell Douglas and de Havilland, did considerable design work on flying-wing airliners, but to date none have entered production.

After the war, Douglas built another Boeing design under license, the B-47 Stratojet.

Congress was soon funding an SST design effort, selecting the existing Lockheed L-2000 and Boeing 2707 designs, to produce an even more advanced, larger, faster and longer ranged design.

The Boeing design was eventually selected for continued work.

Lockheed's SCV was a new design for this category, while Boeing continued studies with the 2707 as a baseline.

At about Mach 2, a typical wing design will cut its L / D ratio in half ( e. g., Concorde managed a ratio of 7. 14, whereas the subsonic Boeing 747 has an L / D ratio of 17 ).

He learnt to fly the brothers ' Curtiss flying boats and the machines of their own design, including the Walsh brothers Type D, as well as the two Boeing and Westervelt floatplanes which were the first machines made by that company.

Boeing was in the midst of designing the Boeing B-47 Stratojet, and the initial Model 424 was a straight-wing design similar to the B-45, B-46 and B-48 it competed with.

While the Soviet never matched the performance of the Boeing B-52 Stratofortress with a jet design, the intercontinental range Tupolev Tu-95 turboprop bomber also remains in service today.

The design capacity of the airport was eight Boeing 707s at a rate of 500 passengers per hour, with minor expansion works completed in 1973 allowing Boeing 747s to serve the airport.

While president of Greenwood Timber Company, Boeing, who had experimented with boat design, traveled to Seattle, where, during the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition in 1909, he saw a manned flying machine for the first time and became fascinated with aircraft.

Unlike most competing designs which envisioned larger trans-Atlantic aircraft and led to the likes of the Boeing 2707, the Super-Caravelle was a much smaller, shorter range design intended to replace their earlier and very successful Caravelle.

Northrop Grumman was selected on September 20, 2004 for a $ 400 million preliminary design contract, beating Lockheed Martin and Boeing IDS.
