Boeing

Boeing is a big company that makes airplanes and other flying machines. It started a long time ago, in 1916, in a city called Seattle in Washington. Today, Boeing makes many types of airplanes that people fly in every day.

Boeing has three main jobs. First, it builds airplanes for people to travel in, like the Boeing 737 and the Boeing 787 Dreamliner. These airplanes fly all over the world. Second, it makes special airplanes and machines for the government. Third, it helps people take care of the airplanes they already have.

The main office of Boeing is now in a place called Crystal City in Arlington County, Virginia. Many smart people work there to make sure airplanes are safe and fun to fly.

Boeing is very important because it helps people travel far away quickly. Imagine seeing the whole world from above—that’s what Boeing helps make possible!
