Unlike the Wright Brothers, modern aerospace designers and manufacturers like Spirit AeroSystems Holdings (formerly Mid-Western Aircraft Systems) operate with a lot more resources than a wing and a prayer. The company makes commercial airplane components, such as fuselages, propulsion systems, wings, and underwing parts. Spirit AeroSystems was acquired from Boeing by Canada-based Onex Corp. in 2005 and went public in 2006. Today it continues to design and build aerostructures for every Boeing aircraft currently in production; it also supplies components to Boeing's chief rival Airbus. Spirit AeroSystems maintains operations in the US, the UK, and Asia.
