Principal subsidiaries and divisions include Boeing Commercial Airplanes, Boeing Defense, Space & Security, and Jeppesen, a provider of aviation navigation services. Boeing was founded in 1916 by William Boeing in Seattle, Washington, and has grown through numerous mergers and acquisitions, most notably its 1997 merger with McDonnell Douglas, which consolidated much of the US aerospace industry.
