We've redesigned Boeing.com to give you faster loading pages, easier-to-use navigation, and more accessible pages to make your visit as informative, interesting and convenient as possible. To use our new features, you must be using a modern, standards-compliant Internet browser.

What does this mean?
The browser you are using to view web sites appears to be out-of-date. It may be able to access Web sites, but it is unable to display upgraded, improved, open web standards sites such as Boeing.com.

How can I get new browser software?
Upgrading your old browser is easy, fast, and free.(Please note this is third party software and is not created by Boeing.)
Here's 3 simple steps:

1. Click one of the icons on the right to download the browser of your choice and operating system to your desktop.
2. Double-click the browser installer icon to install it.
3. To begin using your new browser, just click the icon for your newly downloaded browser.

You're now on your way to faster, standards compliant browsing.

Why are we doing this?
Boeing is committed to serving the entire public, and that means striving to ensure that all pages of our site are accessible to the greatest possible number of people and devices (including screen readers, Braille readers, and other specialized browsing environments). Because they follow strict rules and avoid non–standard markup, well–authored XHTML (Extensible Hyper Text Markup Language) pages are more accessible than older HTML (Hyper Text Markup Language) pages, helping The Boeing Company comply with U.S. laws and accessibility guidelines.

The web is moving to XML, a powerfully enabling technology. Utilizing XML (Extensible Markup Language) allows us to deliver, very quickly, well–formed, XHTML (Extensible Hyper Text Markup Language) web pages. XHTML brings uniformity and more logical markup to document structure. This is critical for large organizations such as ours, whose web pages must interface with logically–marked–up documents in legacy systems and databases.

We have reorganized some of the site's content to create a more user-friendly environment. Also, unlike old–style HTML pages built using tables to display presentation, we've used structured XHTML and simple CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) to create visually appealing navigation and pages that are easy to edit and update. By eliminating images and JavaScript from the menus we save you precious downloading time.
