Boeing

150.“中国如何跳出贫困陷阱”，现代化之路又会走向何方 adds Boeing as a source-scoped example of Process Knowledge / 过程知识 fragility. The episode uses Boeing alongside Intel and nuclear-safety examples to argue that technical systems depend on tacit operating memory that can be difficult to rebuild once teams, supplier practice, and manufacturing routines erode.

Boeing appears in Bytes: Week in Review - Gecko’s $71M contract with U.S. Navy, BuzzFeed doubts its business viability, and Amazon offers faster delivery as a legacy aerospace and defense contractor that may face pressure as the U.S. government partners more with technology startups. The source uses Boeing as a comparison point, not as a detailed company case.

Vol.268 两个劳斯莱斯 adds Boeing as both competitive context and later engine-customer context around the RB211 story. The episode frames Boeing’s 747 as part of the wide-body market pressure facing Lockheed’s L-1011 TriStar, then says RB211’s later improvements helped Rolls-Royce enter broader civil-aircraft supplier systems including Boeing.
