For instance, Boeing doubled their lobbying --- to lobby against the proposed elimination of the Export-Import Bank.

But full-size jets that look just like 787s don't land at boeing field every day.

There have been a number of western civilian jet planes from that era with tail engines too (for instance the Boeing 727).

You think Boeing should design planes based on how cool they look?

The VC-10 as a Western four engined large (for the time) narrow body intercontinental jetliner competed directly with the Boeing 707 and Douglas DC-8.

This is a little tongue-and-cheek, but if it inspires even one person to start an airline Boeing will make their money back in no time!

The most beautiful thing Boeing has ever designed is 747.

Joe Sutter (father of the 747) recounts a private meeting in a Paris restaurant where Boeing engineers briefed the Russians how to hang engines under the wing, and in return the Russians told Boeing how to machine titanium.

The scenario involves a notional Boeing engineer from 1965.

What is the probability that a plane by Boeing or Airbus will encounter a flight problem in its first flight that would be noticeable to the general public?

Oracle, IBM, Sony, Apple, Microsoft, Boeing all are monetized empires that profit not just from binary blobs, but from providing a superior product.

The "matches" in the headline is only that it came from the same model (Boeing 777) as MH370 - not from the actual plane.

This site [2] has a very good discussion about the Boeing 737 APU and APU exhaust (which they call an "Educator").

At the time I wrote that comment, his most recent tweet was "Okay, now where's the rest of this Boeing 777?".

Boeing's just making tweaks to a basic design that's been around since the 1960s.

Boeing has subsequently gotten its share of grief for 787 slips.

Airlines get squeezed by airports and manufacturers (Boeing, Airbus, etc).
