Spirit AeroSystems, the company formed after the sale of Boeing Co.’s commercial aircraft division in Wichita, announced Friday that it was planning to go public.

Spirit AeroSystems has filed a statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission saying it intends to make an initial public offering of its common stock, the company said.

Spirit formed in June 2005 when Canada-based Onex Corp. bought Boeing Wichita’s commercial aircraft division for $1.5 billion.
