Objectives:
There are thousands of jobs performed on the Queen of the sky, the Boeing 747 also called as the jumbo jet, for its final assembly. 747 is an advanced long range airliner, it is a product of complex, demanding collaborative design process. 747 is an icon of the modern age. It is the longest airliner in the world. This system is comprised of components which are complex, independent and interacts to achieve a common goal.
Introduction:
The birth of the Jumbo jet in the late 1960’s heralded the modern intercontinental mass transportation. It represents the impressive results of an intensive engineering, design process and also the spirit of its era, a time when belief in progress, including access to air travel, was a phenomenal

A number of other governments also use 747 as a VIP transport.
Military and security: YAL-1, C-33, Evergreen 747, 747 CMCA supertanker are military versions of 747. YAL-1, C-33, Evergreen 747, 747 CMCA supertanker are military versions of 747.
Scientific: SOFIA (Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy) is used in the joint venture of NASA and DLR for scientific research.

Airplanes are massive and very complex pieces of machinery, and they help us get to places more efficiently and cheaper than traditional ways. Although we have seen that if
Boeing corporations is an American based Multi-National-Corporation that designs, produces and distributes both military and commercial Aircraft. As a Multi-National-Corporation, Boeing has offices and factories in different countries and have a centralised head office in Chicago where they coordinate global management. One of Boeing's flagship products is the Boeing 787-Dreamliner which is a mid-range commercial aircraft. The Boeing 787 is one of the latest Boeing Products that demonstrates the principals of a Multi-National-Corporation. It sources components, from 7 different countries, as well as utilising research and technology facilities across 20 countries worldwide.
Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA) is a joint project with NASA and the German Aerospace Center. The idea for this project was to build an airborne observatory and put a German built 2.5-meter telescope inside a modified American Boeing 747. The idea of the project is that because the telescope is high in the sky, the infrared blocking water vapor on the ground will not affect the telescope and the telescope will have a much clearer view of the infrared universe (than if a telescope was on the ground). SOFIA objectives are to study the composition of planetary atmospheres, investigate structure and composition of comets, learn about the interstellar medium, and to learn about the formation of stars. The project began in 1996 with an estimated cost of 185 million dollars and was to be completed in 2001. Unfortunately with delays and setbacks the project was not completed until 2007 and its first flight with the telescope working was not until 2010. The price of the project doubled to about 360 million dollars, and to operate the plane, it will cost an additional 100 million dollars a year. Is the amount of money spent towards this worth the
Boeing Commercial Airplanes' launched the 787 Dreamliner, a super-efficient airplane in order to meet the growing needs and preferences of an international audience across the globe. An
As Russell Menere, I recommend the management of Boeing Australia Limited to follow the footsteps of Boeing Seattle to adopt and implement cost effective e-Procurement system, which can be interfaced with the legacy information system as we have IT infrastructure in place that is our core strength.
There were many important people, aircraft, and developments, which greatly contributed to aviation development, which ultimately impacted the World. Out of many aviation developments, I will write about an aircraft I take pleasure in seeing and hearing, the C-130 Hercules. I consider this aircraft has made a significant impact in the aviation industry, most in the dependability of the airframe and its illustrious design. Today, this aircraft is used for many organizations such as Military Ops, firefighting, and search and rescue. The military is the primary user of this aircraft, for it uses it for many tactical operations. But what makes this aircraft so grand? The ability to land on short runways and the ability to fly slow with load,
The Boeing 747, also known as Jumbo Jet, is one of the most prominent and popular airplanes used in the past, and still flown today. When it was launched commercially in 1970, it was a public transportation breakthrough. This plane was built to transport mass amounts of people and cargo. The plane design had a passenger capacity world record for 37 years. With it several designs, the most recent being the Boeing 747-8F for passengers, the plane is versatile and has been used to this day, in airports around the world. The Boeing 747 was made by the Boeing company. It was thought up and
The Boeing Company (NYSE:BA) was founded July 15th, 1916. Boeing is one of the world’s largest producers of aircraft and aerospace systems, producing both commercial jets and defense, as well as space and security systems. Boeing’s operations are extensive and widespread, and can be located throughout more than 150 countries around the world.
Airbus predicts that there would be demand for more than 1500 super jumbos over the next 20 years that would generate sales in excess of $350 billion. And they could sell as many as 750 over jumbos over the next 20 years with a break even on undiscounted cash flow basis with the sales of only 250 planes. There is a huge profit in this business if Airbus succeeds in the industrial launch of A3XX jumbo jets.
A key factor in determining a project's viability is its cost of capital [WACC]. The estimation of Boeing's WACC must be consistent with the overall valuation approach and the definition of cash flows to be discounted. Note that this process is a forward looking focus and is laden with uncertainty. It is how the assumptions are modeled that many costly mistakes can be made. While finding a rate of return for an individual project, it is important to remember that WACC is only appropriate for an individual project.
This is a case about three different companies dedicated to the manufacturing of aircrafts. Those three major companies are: Boeing, Airbus Industry and McDonnell Douglas; each of one was struggling to produce enough aircraft to satisfy a seemingly unquenchable need for passenger and freight transport around the world, developed in this form many kinds of aircrafts in different models and styles.
Launched just 8 years ago, today, the Jetstar Group consists of a network of value-based air carriers that deliver high quality air passenger services for budget-minded travelers across Australia, New Zealand and the Asia Pacific region. Beginning with just 400 employees, the company currently employs more than 7,000 people and carries about 20 million passengers a year. To gain some insights into how the Jetstar Group achieved this impressive growth in such a short amount of time, this paper provides a review of the relevant literature concerning the air passenger industry in general and the business strategy used by the Jetstar Group in particular. A summary of the research and recommendations for this company are provided in the paper's conclusion.
Since the beginning of recorded history, humans have always had a fascination with flight. Now that we live in a world where boarding an airplane and flying across the country – or even the world - is simply a part of everyday life, the wonder of flight has diminished for many. Despite this, physics students from all around continue to delight in the many physical forces that play a part in keeping these huge objects (like jumbo jets) from falling out of the sky!
1. What is an appropriate required rate of return against which to evaluate the prospective IRRs from the Boeing 777?
The airplane is a very normal word today. But it is a new word at least a hundred years. Then I want to talk about airplanes’ history, airplanes’ companies, personal business, global trade, and the benefit for international students and traveling. In my view, those parts are very important about airplanes has changed people’s lives. A lot of people believe that airplanes bring many benefits to our life. I agree with this idea because airplanes are one of the greatest inventions of the twentieth century. So this article will talk about the airplanes.
