Sure, if you want to play semantics: Cessna Inc. owned by Textron Aviation Inc. owned by Textron Inc., and Gulfstream Aerospace Corp. owned by General Dynamics Corporation.

Both are wholly owned subsidiaries of their respective parent corporation ownership chains, and are commonly known by Cessna and Gulfstream.

My point being that they are such small companies that they weren't even viable as independent businesses. It's a joke to think that they could even remotely scale up to a viable Boeing competitor in this century.

Airbus is 53 years old.

Bombardier competes in the same segment as Cessna and Gulfstream and designed a plane that is actively in competition with the 737.

A lot can happen in a century, especially when the government puts its thumbs on the scale, which is the rule rather than the exception when it comes to commercial passenger planes.
