I once worked for Boeing Computer Services, a now defunct part of the Boeing Company. (And this was decades before the 737 MAX, thank you.) I wrote a computational grammar of English, which together with a LISP-based parsing engine developed by another employee, could parse a lot of English into phrase structure (this was before the days of statistically learned parsers). The grammar was based on a theory called Generalized Phrase Structure Grammar, an off-shoot of Chomsky's work. I made a lot of use of a grammar of English published by one of Chomsky's students, which described a number of interesting grammatical structures.

Boeing eventually monetized our work by stripping out all the interesting constructions to arrive at a version of Basic English grammar, and used it together with the parser to ensure that authors of aircraft manuals conformed to that Basic English, which in turn was supposed to make the manuals more understandable to non-native English aircraft mechanics. It was still in use the last time I checked, a decade ago.
