| Founded in 1916, Boeing evokes
vivid images of the amazing products and services that define
aerospace. Each day, more than three million people board our
jetliners, 335 satellites put into orbit by Boeing launch vehicles
pass overhead, and 6,000 Boeing military aircraft stand guard
with air forces of 20 countries and every branch of the U.S.
armed forces. We are the leading aerospace company in the world
and the No. 1 U.S. exporter. We hold more than 6,000 patents,
and our capabilities and related services include advanced information
and communications systems, financial services, defense systems,
missiles, rocket engines, launch systems and satellites. But
the company is about much more than statistics or products,
no matter how awe-inspiring. Our 186,900 employees, with 23,400
advanced degrees, are some of the most highly skilled, educated
and motivated in the world. Partnered with hundreds of thousands
more talented people at 15,842 suppliers worldwide, we see tremendous
opportunities in the years ahead for connecting and protecting
people, as well as streamlining our supplier network to increase
profitability and improve efficiency. Among the challenges under
development: a space-based air traffic management system, and
a global-mobile communications system that will allow passengers
on any moving platform to be connected to high-bandwidth data. |
