Boeing Commercial Airplanes

I said, to me, he is the finest individual leader in the last 50 to 100 years, maybe, right? And there's two reasons why.

For those of you who don't know who he is, he turned Boeing around, Boeing Commercial Aircraft, in the middle of 9-11.

And they came out of 9-11 better than they went in.

And then Bill Ford said, can you do the same thing for me? And he did it again in the middle of 2008.

I do.

And I want to give some credit to Alan Mulally, the retired CEO of Ford, who just did an amazing job at Boeing Commercial and then at Ford of lifting the culture to a whole new level.

And he was kind enough to spend time with me this past year.

And he challenged me to get in the game in a more substantial way.

But Boeing has got an order book of 1,555 max tens for 30 customers around the world, which includes those 10 firm orders from Virgin Australia.

According to Stephanie Pope, the president and CEO of Boeing Commercial Airplanes, completing the certification program, quote, clears the path for us to deliver a Boeing airplane that will set a new standard in commercial aviation.

The 737-10 offers greater capacity, longer range, and the best seat economics in its class, a platform that will create more value and opportunities for airlines around the world.

She said, we are also delighted to complete the 737 MAX family and provide our customers the most efficient and flexible single aisle airplane portfolio in the industry.

Now, this MAX 10 certification process included more than 2,000 hours of flight testing, 1,000 ground test hours, tens of thousands of pages of documentation, many hours of formal meetings with the FAA.

Chris Payne, the vice president and general manager of 737 Airplane Development Programs at Boeing Commercial Airplanes, said, quote, Our flight test team ran a disciplined, methodical campaign to validate every system.

That rigor gives us confidence as we move towards deliveries.

I'm incredibly proud of the entire team for their focus and professionalism.

Every month, the MAX 10 sat Boeing had a backlog it couldn't convert into cash and airlines had fleet plans they could not execute.

Boeing Commercial Airplanes President and CEO Stephanie Pope framed the approval as clearing the path to deliver an airplane that sets a new standard in the segment and said it completes the most efficient and flexible single aisle portfolio in the industry.

Chris Payne, who runs the 737 airplane development programs, credited the flight test team, with a disciplined, methodical campaign to validate every system.

The MAX 10 now joins the 737 MAX 7, the MAX 8, and the MAX 8200, and the MAX 9.

So

this is actually Boeing Airplanes posting this.

Certified 10.

737-10, which is the MAX-10, the largest version of the family.

I think there's six or seven divisions, but there's two main divisions that most of their revenue come from.

The first is Boeing Commercial Airplanes, and the second is Boeing Defense.

And I think both of them are pretty self-explanatory.

But essentially, as I mentioned earlier, they design these airplanes and missiles and satellites, they manufacture them, and then they sell them to these businesses such as commercial airlines or the defense being the government.
