Boeing'S Initial Stage Of Entrepreneurship

In the early stage of Entrepreneurship (1903-1938), in:1903, two things opened up a new chapter in the history of modern aviation.

White brothers made their first flight in Kitty Hawk, North Carolina; William Boeing (born in Detroit, Michigan, October 1, 1881) left Yale engineering college to the west coast.

Boeing moved to Seattle in 1908 after winning a fortune in timber business in Grays Harbor, Washington state.

Two years later, Boeing went to Losangeles for the first American air race.

He tried to take one of the planes, but none of the more than 10 pilots was willing to help.

Boeing returned to Seattle disappointed, but he decided to learn more in this new field of aviation science.

In the next five years, Boeing's air travel almost ended in theory.

He discussed the topic of air travel with George Conrad George Conrad in a university club in Seattle.

George, a naval engineer, has already completed several aeronautical courses at Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

They studied the structure of the biplane together, using the early Curtiss aircraft and the Motor Company designed biplane.

The biplane requires pilots and passengers to sit on the wings.

Vivier later wrote, "he can't find any definite answer to how passengers can sit on the wings."

The two of them are convinced that they can build a biplane that is better than any aircraft in the market.

In the fall of 1915, Boeing returned to California to learn from another aviation pioneer, Glen Glenn (Glenn Martin).

Before leaving, he asked West Vee to start designing a more practical new aircraft.

In this way, the construction of the double buoy water plane was launched in Boeing dock. Boeing and vistowe named it B & W in the first letter of their respective names.

In the war years (1939-1945): after 16 months of the "stratospheric pport" service, the clouds of war dimmed on the European horizon.

Phil Johnson returned from Canada and took over as president of Boeing, responsible for wartime production.

He died in September 14, 1944 during his visit to Boeing Wichita factory.

In 1940s, Boeing workers continued to accelerate the manufacture of B-17.

From the aerial view of Boeing second factory in Seattle, the rough linen house and the netted linen camouflage roof make the entire bomber manufacturing center look like a quiet suburb.

When American men go to war, American women make planes.

Thousands of women represented by riveter loth not only made up for the shortage of labor, but also greatly improved productivity: the monthly output of aircraft expanded from 60 in 1942 to 362 in March 1944.

During that period, the Seattle factory had recorded 16 aircraft in 24 hours.

The Boeing Lun ton plant near Seattle is built for the production of the Navy's XPBB-1 long-range cruise bomber.

However, due to changes in wartime strategy, it is biased towards land based bombers.

So in 1942, Boeing began producing B-29 bombers at the factories of the London and Wichita factories in Kansas.

The new super Fort entered the battle in less than two years after its first flight.

In the Wichita factory, farmers, housewives and shopkeepers manufactured B-29 every day for 10 hours per shift, which was later known as the "Kansas campaign".

All companies across the country coordinate wartime production.

B-17 is produced in Boeing, Douglas aircraft and Lockheed Aircraft Co.

B-29 is produced in the Boeing, Bell Aircraft Company and Martin factories.

During the period from 1936 to 1944, Boeing made 240 Douglas DB-7B attack bombers for France, manufactured 750 cargo and gliders designed by weke, and made 8585 trainers for West Point trainers, which was first introduced to the Stillman aircraft company in Wichita in 1933.

Boeing Canadian aircraft company has created 362 PBY airships and amphibious aircraft designed by the Santiago Consolidated Aircraft Corporation and 16 Blackburn Shark torpedo aircraft designed by the Canadian air force.

Boeing also made 3 XF8B-1 fighter bombers.

The development of post-war War (1946-1956): the era of the Second World War ended with shocking changes.

The military cancelled orders for bombers; Boeing factories closed, and 70000 workers lost their jobs.

On the day of factory closure, lawyer William Alan hesitated to take over as president of the company.

Alan promised that once the airline ordered the "stratosphere parade", the company immediately recalled the unemployed.

The aircraft is a luxury civilian aircraft pformed by Boeing's four engine military pport aircraft, C-97 (first flight in 1944).

The production of the B-50 bomber continued, although the army had reduced its initial 200 orders to 60.

The Boeing Wichita plant produced L-51 reconnaissance aircraft, which first flew in 1947.

At the same time, the wind tunnel data found in Germany at the end of the war helped Boeing engineers design the first multi engine swept wing jet bomber XB-47 in China.

Unfortunately, the "stratospheric parade" has not made a financial breakthrough.

And for the company to earn most of the profits from the C-97 cargo aircraft modified airscrew propeller and KC-97 refueling aircraft.

The jet and rocket launch (1957-1970): the technology that was developed in the late 1950s and fought in the second world war has affected all aspects of Commerce and manufacturing. In nearly 10 years, these technologies have pushed the civilized world into a modern age.

Boeing President Alan recognizes that Boeing, with its own scientists, experience and facilities, can lead the country into an unprecedented era - breaking the barriers of voice, time and space.

The analogue computer, which appeared in 1940s and used to guide missile flight (including Boeing's ground to air pilotless aircraft GAPA), has been developing rapidly to more like the predecessors of today's computers.

GAPA is a 16 foot long supersonic rocket with a needle like head and solid fuel.

It was developed for jet propulsion in Germany.

It laid the foundation for mass production of the 45 foot long Pok missile in 1957, the purpose of which is to intercept enemy invading aircraft.

With the continuation of the cold war, Boeing, with its own missile experience, developed an intercontinental ballistic missile system, including base, installation and maintenance, thus winning the militia missile project.

Boeing engineers use this rocket based technology to design the "dyna glider" reusable manned spacecraft.

When it is put into orbit by the rocket, it can glide over the earth's upper atmosphere.

In 1963, when the "dyna gliding" entered the physical model stage, the project was cancelled.

After 20 years, this concept was reproduced in the form of a space shuttle.

At that time, Boeing had been involved in the Apollo project, which brought humans to the moon in 1969.

The new market (1971-1982): as the beginning of 1970s, a lot of factors came together to push Boeing into crisis.

By the end of the 60s, the large-scale Apollo project was phased out. The company originally hoped to increase the sales volume of civil aircraft to make up for the reduction of space related business.

Unfortunately, Boeing did not receive new domestic orders for 18 consecutive months due to the recession of the aviation industry.

The large jetliner 747 has not yet been recognized in the market, and unexpectedly encountered high start-up costs and initial delivery problems.

The end of the SST project brings another blow.

Boeing has made significant progress under the support of federal funds, but since Congress broke the SST fund in March 1971, it forced Boeing to cancel the project.

From the beginning of 1970 to October 1971, the number of Boeing employees dropped from 80400 to 37200 in Seattle alone.

Thousands of employees who originally worked for Boeing couldn't find jobs in the local labor market, and had to go elsewhere to look for opportunities.

At that time, the situation in Seattle became so bad that a road sign advertisement on the outskirts wrote, "please ask the last person to leave Seattle to turn off the lights" (photos provided by the Seattle times).

The new challenge for T is Wilson, who became president of the company in 1968.

When Wilson became chairman of the board in 1972, Malcolm Stam Pa was appointed president until 1985.
