Boeing, the largest civilian aerospace manufacturer in the United States, has been a significant part of the American economy for decades. The company is a key player in the global civil aircraft manufacturing industry, alongside Airbus. Boeing's aircraft have been recognized for their safety, efficiency, and technological advancements.

However, Boeing's reputation has suffered following two fatal crashes involving its 737 MAX aircraft. These incidents revealed a lax safety culture within the company, leading to regulatory scrutiny and supply chain issues that affected production and delivery targets.

In early 2024, Boeing faced another setback when a door plug blew off a 737 MAX during flight. Although no injuries occurred, this incident raised further concerns about safety at Boeing. Despite these challenges, Boeing managed to secure an order for up to 200 737 MAX planes from Turkish airline Pegasus by the end of 2024. This order led to a rally in Boeing's stock prices, with shares rising over 25%.

Boeing plays a crucial role in the US economy as it exports more products by dollar value than any other US-based company. The success of Boeing affects net exports, which are essential for calculating GDP and assessing economic growth.

Historically, US civilian aircraft manufacturing has been prominent since World War II. Companies like Douglas and Lockheed produced commercial jets alongside Boeing. Over time, European manufacturers like Airbus became strong competitors.

Boeing acquired McDonnell Douglas in 1997, aiming to become the world's largest aircraft manufacturer. The merger was expected to strengthen Boeing against Airbus competition. The introduction of successful models like the Boeing 787 Dreamliner helped maintain its market position.

Civilian aircraft manufacturing is one of America's significant export industries. According to Forbes data from 2022, civilian aircraft account for a larger portion of US exports than technology-related industries.

Despite recent difficulties and competition from Airbus-built jets post-pandemic, Boeing remains influential with an estimated market cap of $127 billion according to Yahoo Finance. However, decreased exports could impact the broader US economy due to Boeing's extensive influence.
