أعلنت بوينغ داخليا الجمعة ان نائب رئيس 777X والمدير العام بوب فيلدمان سيتقاعد في يناير كانون الثاني وسيخلفه نائبه اريك يندبلاد.
Lindblad, 55, will be responsible for taking the new widebody jet through its final development phase and entry into service with airlines in 2020.
A 31-year Boeing veteran, Lindblad headed creation of the 777X wing center in Everett, the centerpiece of the the new airplane program. Before that, he was vice president of manufacturing operations for the highly successful 737 program in Renton.
Feldmann, 62, started his career in 1976 as an engineer with McDonnell Douglas working on the F/A-18 fighter. He later led development of the Navy’s EA-18G Growler and then moved to Renton to lead the P-8 Poseidon anti-sub aircraft program.
In 2011, Feldmann moved to the commercial airplane side, where he was general manager of the new 737 MAX before his appointment in 2013 to lead the 777X program.
