Flying today is safer than ever, thanks in large part to the Commercial
Aviation Safety Team. Working together, representatives from industry,
government, unions and academia developed and promoted safety
initiatives that have improved aviation safety around the globe.
The teams efforts recently were recognized with the prestigious
Collier Trophy.
For Boeing Mission Control Center employees who design, build and
test satellites, the launch is just the beginning. Then comes the critical
work of satellite operations.

Mercury:
First step on the
way to the moon
By Henry T. Brownlee Jr.
ore than 50
years ago,
on Oct. 4,
1957, the former Soviet
Unions launch of
Sputnik shocked the
United States and
initiated a space race
between the two world
powers to demonstrate
political superiority
through technological
advancement.

design, test and build
the Project Mercury
manned spacecraft to McDonnell Aircraft Corporation (MAC).
Twelve companies, including Boeing predecessor companies
MAC, Douglas Aircraft and North American Aviation, submitted
proposals. The selection of McDonnell was a carefully guarded
secret until the day of the announcement.
Several years before the launch of Sputnik, and before
Alan B. Shepard Jr. became the first American to achieve
suborbital spaceflight in May 1961, James S. McDonnell,
president of MAC, studied placing a human in space.
Indeed, in a May 26, 1957, commencement speech at the
Missouri School of Mines and Metallurgy in Rolla, Mo. (now
the Missouri University of Science and Technology), McDonnell
provided the engineering graduates a speculative timetable for
space travel. He thought the United States would not achieve a
manned Earth satellite until 1990, and a manned spaceship to
land on the moon and return to Earth until 2010. It was in this
same speech that McDonnell referenced the dangerous dilemma

personalized Human Resources, payroll and benefits information.
feature employees
Ethics and Business Conduct, part of the Office of Internal Governance, recently
released new posters featuring employees talking about ethical leadership in their own
words. Regardless of job title or location, every employee is a leader when it comes to
ethical decision-making, said Mike Mesick, vice president, Ethics and Business Conduct. Thats what we mean when we say Leadership Matters and thats what the
employees in the posters represent.
The posters are placed at Boeing sites worldwide and include information on resources
for ethics questions or concerns, such as the Boeing Ethics Web site. The posters are
part of the companys ethics awareness program and comply with requirements from
the U.S. government.
Employees wishing to view all of the posters can check the Ethics Web site at

A prototyping environment
The village of Bingen, Wash., overlooking the waters of the
Columbia River Gorge, might seem an unlikely venue for the
design and manufacture of high-tech unmanned surveillance
aircraft. But you dont hear Insitu employees grumbling about
having to live in this scenic recreational area an hour east of Portland, Ore. It was recreation, in fact, that brought technology used
in ScanEagle here. The lightweight composite-layup airframes
derive from material you find in windsurfer and snowboard manufactureboth established industries in the area since the 1980s.
Mechanical design engineer Calder Hughes has grown fond
of the Insitu culture. This is a true prototyping environment, he
said. Were able to make our own parts as we go. We can figure
out quickly where the stumbling blocks are, where we want to
put our energy.

The field service representatives (FSRs) provide real-time video to
the Marines and security-cleared Iraqi officials. Their customers
assign the specific missions, but Boeing FSRs have responsibility
for launching, recovering and maintaining the aircraft.
For the most part, ScanEagles support convoys and troop
movements, scanning for ambushes and improvised explosive
devices, a threat that has proved tough to monitor. The persistent
little platformnearly invisible and inaudible from the ground
also guards oil pipelines and offshore drilling platforms, often
targeted by saboteurs.
Dave Hilliard, an FSR who has logged two years in Iraq,
described life in a can, or modular metal hut, at Al Asad Air
Base. You and your canmate share a space roughly 8 by 20 feet
(2.4 by 6 meters), he said. Hundreds of cans are bolted
together, forming entire can cities.

drive
growth
Boeing has many widely scattered enclaves of excellence that contribute to its unmanned aircraft programs, but Integrated Defense
Systems leaders saw the need to bring One Boeing energy to
bear. To that end, they created a new Unmanned Airborne Systems (UAS) division that will draw on the best of IDS businesses.
Vic Sweberg, who heads the new division, played a major role
in acquiring unmanned aerial systems manufacturer Insitu. Its
great to be able to nucleate around something, he said. Insitu
has established a unique and very successful style of engaging
customers that gives us entree into some areas of the market
we havent engaged yet.
Essential to the division will be ISR Services. This GS&S organization has provided ScanEagle services to the U.S. Navy, Marines,
Special Operations Command and several foreign governments.
Under fee-for-service contracts, Boeing assumes the financial risk
of deploying and operating the aircraft and ground stations.
The new division will also develop unmanned aerial systems command/control from Airborne Warning and Control System, P-8A, 737
Airborne Early Warning & Control (AEW&C), Apache and other Boeing platforms. In March, a Seattle-based team demonstrated control
of three ScanEagles from a Wedgetail AEW&C. In May, a Mesa,
Ariz.-based team used an AH-6U Unmanned Little Bird to demonstrate UAS vehicle and sensor control from a Block III Apache.

bigger
payload,
more endurance
The bids are in. The Small Tactical Unmanned Aerial System
(STUAS)/Tier II competition presents the opportunity to sell
hundredspotentially thousandsof aircraft and associated
equipment, support and training to the U.S. Navy and Marine
Corps. With the U.S. Air Force likely to place orders as well,
STUAS will be one of the largest U.S. procurements of unmanned
systems to date.
As service-contract suppliers of the incumbent ScanEagle, Boeing
and Insitu face a formidable field of challengers. Because STUAS
calls for a larger payload and longer endurance than ScanEagle
provides, the team will offer Integrator, a double-boom platform
with 15.8-foot (4.8-meter) wingspan and 50-pound (23-kilogram)
payload capacity that can stay aloft for 24 hours-plus.
Following Boeings acquisition of Insitu in September 2008,
which was aimed partly at better positioning the two partners
to compete for STUAS, other contractors followed suit with
partnering agreements or acquisitions. Raytheon teamed with
Swift Engineering to bid the Killer Bee UAS. Killer Bee is offered
in four incrementally sized variants ranging from a 6.5-foot to
33.2-foot (2- to 10-meter) wingspan that carry substantial
payloads due to their blended wing/body design.
AAI, a subsidiary of Textron that has provided larger unmanned
aerial vehicles to the U.S. forces, has teamed with Aerosonde
Pty Ltd. of Australia to offer the Aerosonde Mk 4 for the STUAS
competition. The Mk 4 set a world-record endurance mark for its
class of more than 38 hours in 2006.
General Dynamics Armament and Technology Products has partnered with Elbit Systems to bid the Israeli companys Skylark II,
a 75-pound (34-kilogram) vehicle with a 14-foot (4.2-meter)
wingspan. Skylark II is equipped with an electro-optical/infrared
sensor payload, laser illuminator and optional laser designator.

engines use electricity supplied by the solar panels to fire high-speed particles (called
ions) of xenon gas out of a thruster, like a micro-sized jet. The engines produce very low
levels of thrust, but they are highly fuel-efficient. So efficient, that WGS can carry enough
fuel to burn 24 hours a day for 30 days and still have enough for stationkeeping during
its 12-year contractual life.
The final stage of the satellite launch process involves in-orbit payload tests to
make sure the satellite works as designed. Antennas, the communications payload and
electronics are tested to be sure the patterns they project on the Earths surface are
what the designers intended, and that everything is in working order.
In the case of the WGS satellite, the whole process took less than three months
from the time the satellite separated from the rocket on April 3 to its handoff to the
U.S. Air Force on June 15, ready for many years of service.
But Boeing employees at the MCC didnt have time to pop open bottles of
champagne. WGS-3 is waiting to be launched. It is the third of six WGS satellites
Boeing is building for the Air Force over the next three years. The $1.8 billion
constellation is scheduled to be completed in 2012. n

Apollo taught us that if you
dream something and youve got
enough people with the desire,
talent and can-do attitude,
you can make it happen.
Mike Lombardi, Boeing historian
Apollo 11 was the fifth crewed mission of the Apollo Program, the
third human voyage to the moon and the first to land. Astronauts
Neil A. Armstrong and Edwin E. Buzz Aldrin Jr. set foot on
the lunar surface July 20, 1969, while crewmate Michael Collins
piloted the North American Aviationbuilt Command Module
from the moons orbit.
Boeing built the first-stage of the mammoth Saturn V rocket that
launched the Apollo astronauts in New Orleans. The second and
third stages were built by heritage companies North American
Aviation and McDonnell Douglas in California. The three stages
were shipped to Florida to be joined.
Along with all three stages of the Saturn V, Boeing and its heritage
firms also built the robotic probes that preceded the manned missions, the Apollo Command and Service modules, as well as the
lunar rovers that helped astronauts travel on the moons surface.
Now that NASA is making plans to return humans to the moon,
it is relying on the kind of expertise Boeing brings from Apollo and
its successor spaceflight programs, such as the Space Shuttle.
Boeing already has been chosen to build the upper stage and
complex avionics of the Ares I, the rocket planned to carry
astronauts back to the moon as part of the next-generation
Constellation Program.
As Boeing historian Mike Lombardi said, Apollo taught us that
if you dream something and youve got enough people with
the desire, talent and can-do attitude, you can make it happen.
Thats what Apollo was all about, and I think thats what Boeing
is all about.

More than 50 years of radio-frequency spectrum use at Boeing
When one thinks of the contributions made by Boeing to the
advancement of flight and aerospace technology, one of the last
things that may come to mind are radios and radio frequencies.
Yet the development of secure air-to-ground communications
and the management of radio frequencies are a critical part of
aerospace technologyespecially considering the rapid
expansion of new technologies aboard defense, space and
commercial platforms and our reliance on wireless
communications in todays society.
Indeed, management of the airwaves is one more field in which
Boeing has been a pioneer and continues to lead the way for the
aerospace industry.
Radio communication in airplanes began around the time of
World War I. Early ground-to-air communication was unreliable and
greatly affected by engine noise and other interference. Also, early
communication systems relied on wireless telegraphs that required
a radio operatorhardly an option for a single-crew mail plane.
In 1927, William Boeing was starting his own airline, Boeing Air
Transport. He quickly saw the need for reliable ground-to-air
communication to increase safety and improve airline efficiency.
Fortunately for Boeing a close
friend, Thorpe Hiscock, was an
avid radio enthusiast. During a
dinner conversation with Boeing,
Hiscock described his belief that
a reliable and practical system
of radio communications could
be developed for Boeings
new airline.
Boeing hired Hiscock as the
communications engineer for
Boeing Air Transport and put him
to work on his theory. His work
would lead him to be recognized
as the inventor of reliable
aircraft radios.
In 1928, Hiscock and fellow
Boeing engineers packed radio

How St. Louis Maintenance employees apply Web 2.0 technology to save costs
By Bill Seil
wo Boeing Shared Services Group Maintenance employees in St. Louis recently responded to a call to reduce
costs by exploring the world of Web 2.0 technology. The
result: a new online tool that is helping to shrink a budget gap
and sparking ideas for new applications across the enterprise.
A wiki, or collaborative online tool, created and populated by
Joe Traversey and Michael Day, allows Site Services employees
40
What is a wiki?
A wiki is a collaborative online tool that allows multiple
users to make additions and alterations. It takes advantage
of the collective knowledge of interested parties to provide
comprehensive information on various subjects. Like blogs,
wikis are part of a new collection of online tools often
referred to as Web 2.0.
PHOTO: Frank Szwarc, a Maintenance electrician in St. Louis,
reads information on the St. Louis Site Services wiki. In addition
to listing excess inventory, the HPWO Shared Information wiki
stores locations of routinely needed equipment. RON BOOKOUT/BOEING
Information, to see if the items are available from another group.
Employees listing items can even insert links to photographs of
the equipment they have available. Individuals viewing the site
can request an item simply by typing in its name. Some of this
now-visible inventory, no longer needed by the company, can
be sold to outside businesses.
It just kind of clicked that a wiki could be applied to the
problem of excess inventory, said Traversey, a Maintenance pipe
fitter in St. Louis. Instead of sharing information individually, we
could all communicate in a single forum.
While the financial impact of the wiki is still being calculated,
the results are impressing management and Finance personnel.
Craig Oberle, Business Management manager for Site Services,
Midwest Region, estimates that the savings and cost avoidance
benefits could exceed $500,000 this year alone.
As use of the tool spreads and becomes more sophisticated,
the financial impact will be significantly higher, Oberle said.
Maintenance crews are just beginning to enter data on
excess equipment. Another feature of the wiki, documenting
Maintenance facilities and procedures, will reduce the amount
of time needed to complete jobs.
The wiki also will preserve essential information and practices
by documenting the knowledge of experienced employees.
Maintenance personnel are entering the locations of pumps,
valves, electrical breakers and other equipment that Maintenance
personnel routinely need to access. Photographs of the
equipment also are posted. This allows new employeesor
employees helping out from another locationto locate these
items without tracking them down on foot.
Day also is excited by the wikis prospects for making an
environmental contribution. As excess inventory is identified and
transferred to people who need it, there is less chance it will be
thrown out. He said discussion around the wiki has helped to
strengthen the groups environmental culture.
