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.
