A concise history of Boeing and the 2027 Supersonic Transport.
During this hour-long presentation Jeffry Culver, Boeing retiree and docent at the Museum of Flight in Seattle, Washington, will focus on The Boeing Company’s role in building aircraft first for the US Military, then for commercial use. Through determination and shear will, the company focused on innovations to become successful in both markets.
Jeff will also touch on the cancellation of the 2707 SST (the Supersonic) contract with the federal government in 1971 that led to the near financial collapse of the company as well as the history of founder William E. Boeing, and the merger between Boeing and McDonnell-Douglas.
