 Boeing X-43 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The third flight of a Boeing X-43A set a new speed record of 7,000 mph (11,200 km/h), or Mach 9.8, on November 16, 2004.
The most recent success in the X-plane series of aircraft, the X-43 is part of NASA's Hyper-X program, involving the American space agency and contractors such as Boeing, MicroCraft Inc, Orbital Sciences Corporation and General Applied Science Laboratory (GASL).
According to a special feature article by Daryl Stephenson in the August 2005 online issue of Boeing Frontiers the X-43C appears to be funded through 2005.

 Boeing 737
Boeings biggest advantages can be explained with very successful experiences that had been collected (been won) with the 727.
On the long distances, the Boeing 707 (with four jet-engines) was the undisputed "number one", on the central distances it was the Boeing 727 with her three engines (of which one engine was mounted in the rear).
The Boeing 737 is the smallest member of the Boeing family, that is why she is called "lovingly" also "Baby Boeing".

 Boeing Flight Operations Symposium
Although Boeing and customer flight crews have reported shudder on the -600 and -800, these reports of shudder may be attributed to heavily damped shimmy vibration which is being erroneously identified as "shudder." If this is the case, the shimmy dampers should help eliminate vibration upon landing.
Boeing has no plans to cover this issue in future versions of the FCTM as the scenario is rarely encountered in normal operations.

 The Boeing 747
Boeing used a new method of spotting potential hazards known as "fault tree analysis," where engineers could easily see the impact of a failure of one part or system on other parts.
At one point early in 1970, Boeing had some 30 planes parked at its plant that could not be delivered until Pratt and Whitney had corrected the deficiencies of its JT-9D engine.
Nevertheless, building the plane was a highly risky undertaking for Boeing, both financially and technically.

Engine qualification testing for the Boeing JSF continues, as does developmental testing of the STOVL propulsion system, which will be used to demonstrate the Boeing direct-lift design on the X-32B (the second Boeing JSF demonstrator) later this year.
Both of Boeing's JSF demonstrators will meet the program's three concept-demonstration objectives: demonstrate commonality across the variants, including design/build processes; demonstrate the Boeing direct-lift propulsion concept for STOVL hover and transition; and demonstrate good low-speed carrier approach flying qualities.
The engine will power the first Boeing JSF demonstrator, which will be used to validate the concept's basic flying qualities and low-speed carrier approach for the U.S. Navy variant.

 Now you see it, now you won't: Boeing lifts the veil on stealthy Bird of Prey
Boeing pilot Joe Felock made it clear that the Bird of Prey – named after a Klingon spacecraft from Star Trek – was a low-performance demonstrator, designed to put a representative shape into the air with minimum time and expense.
Boeing's Bird of Prey technology demonstrator, unveiled in St Louis on 18 October after spending a decade in the world of 'black' or classified programs, is a very important step in stealth technology, combining a very low radar cross-section (RCS) with a renewed focus on visual and even acoustic signatures.
