Thank you for standing by. Good day, everyone, and welcome to The Boeing Company's third quarter 2022 earnings conference call. Today's call is being recorded. The management discussion and slide presentation, plus the analyst question-and-answer session are being broadcast live over the internet.
[Operator instructions] At this time, for opening remarks and introductions, I'm turning the call over to Mr. Matt Welch, vice president of investor relations for The Boeing Company. Mr. Welch, please go ahead.
Matt Welch -- Vice President, Investor Relations
Thank you, John, and good morning, everyone. Welcome to Boeing's third quarter 2022 earnings call. I am Matt Welch, and with me today are Dave Calhoun, Boeing's president and chief executive officer; and Brian West, Boeing's executive vice president and chief financial officer. As a reminder, you can follow today's broadcast and slide presentation through our website at boeing.com.
As always, we have provided detailed financial information in our press release issued earlier today. Projections, estimates, and goals we include in our discussions this morning involve risks, including those described in our SEC filings and in the forward-looking statement disclaimer at the end of this web presentation. In addition, we refer you to our earnings release and presentation for disclosures and reconciliation of certain non-GAAP measures. Now I will turn the call over to Dave Calhoun.
Dave Calhoun -- President and Chief Executive Officer
Matt, thanks. Welcome to everybody. Thanks for joining us. I will acknowledge upfront that our plan's for the investor conference middle of next week.
We're looking forward to them. We hope we can give some guideposts for the forward look in The Boeing Company. So many of our comments today will be a little shorter than usual and focused strictly on the quarter. This quarter was a big one for us.
We hit a marker, a marker we've set since the beginning of our turnaround effort in the beginning of 2020, and that was to generate positive free cash flow. So we generated $2.9 billion in the quarter. That puts us on the path that we projected for 2022, which was positive. So again, a very important accomplishment for us and I think begins the real turning point for the company.
