Boeing Defense President Muilenburg on mixing business with cycling
Boeing Defense, Space and Security President and CEO Dennis Muilenburg speaks eloquently about defense cycles, but did you know that he is something of a cyclist who typically rides about 100 miles a week?
The give away was the glowing tan he was sporting when speaking at the Reuters Aerospace and Defense Summit.
“I’m an avid bicyclist so I catch some sun while I’m out bicycling,” he said.
Muilenburg doesn’t bike to work but he goes for a spin on the weekend and has a few bicycles parked in his garage. His favorite is a Trek 5900, which other cycling aficianados say is lightweight and speedy.
Would you send a postcard of Boeing’s new Dreamliner?
For some fans, Boeing’s first test flight of its new 787 Dreamliner this week was apparently a virtual postcard.
The aerospace company says people sent about 25,000 postcards electronically of the lightweight commercial plane made primarily from carbon-based plastics and titanium.
