{{main|History of Boeing}}

=== Origins ===
The Boeing Company 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 |archive-date=May 3, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230503063832/https://www.aerotime.aero/articles/32338-story-of-boeing-from-single-plane-to-aerospace-giant |url-status=live }}</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 |access-date=January 8, 2024 |archive-date=February 4, 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240204065512/https://www.historylink.org/File/8023 |url-status=live }}</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 |first1=Stanley I. |last1=Weiss |first2=Amir R. |last2=Amir |url=https://www.britannica.com/topic/Boeing-Company |title=Boeing Company – Description, History, & Aircraft |website=Encyclopedia Britannica |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190718204814/https://www.britannica.com/topic/Boeing-Company |archive-date=July 18, 2019 |url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2000/01/13/business/3.75-billion-boeing-hughes-satellite-deal-expected.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150503031125/http://www.nytimes.com/2000/01/13/business/3.75-billion-boeing-hughes-satellite-deal-expected.html |archive-date=May 3, 2015 |url-access=subscription |url-status=live |title=$3.75 Billion Boeing-Hughes Satellite Deal Expected |last=Pollack |first=Andrew |date=January 13, 2000 |work=The New York Times |access-date=January 24, 2020 |language=en-US |issn=0362-4331}}</ref>

=== Spirit Aerosystems Acquisition ===
In June 2024, Boeing agreed to re-acquire [[Spirit AeroSystems]], its longtime supplier of airplane parts, which had been established in 2005 when Boeing [[Corporate spin-off|spun-off]] its Wichita division to an investment firm. The deal was initially discussed in March of the same year before being closed on June 30 at $4.7 billion.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Josephs |first1=Leslie |title=Boeing agrees to buy fuselage maker Spirit AeroSystems in $4.7 billion deal |url=https://www.cnbc.com/2024/07/01/boeing-to-buy-spirit-aerosystems.html |website=CNBC |access-date=6 July 2024 |language=en |date=1 July 2024}}</ref>

In December 2025, Boeing was asked by the [[Federal Trade Commission]] to divest Spirit assets to resolve antitrust concerns, including the businesses that supply [[Airbus]] and Malaysian aerospace company Subang.

In 2020, Boeing's second quarter revenue was $11.8 billion as a result of the pandemic slump.
