Boeing Helicopters

   

Boeing Helicopters is a US aircraft manufacturer, part of Boeing Integrated Defense Systems.

It was created as Boeing Vertol when the Piasecki Helicopter company was acquired by Boeing in 1960. The company was responsible for the design and production of the CH-46 Sea Knight and the CH-47 Chinook.

It adopted its current name in 1987. When Boeing acquired McDonnell Douglas, the former Mesa, Arizona operations of Hughes Helicopters were merged into Boeing Helicopters.
