Phil Condit Joins ICON Aircraft Board Of Directors

Former Boeing CEO Goes From Heavy Jets To LSA's

ICON Aircraft announced Wednesday that Phil Condit (pictured), former Chief Executive Officer of Boeing, has joined its board of advisors. Condit brings over 40 years of aviation experience to ICON.

Condit joined Boeing in 1965 as an aerodynamics engineer and quickly rose within the organization, taking on various engineering and leadership positions. He led the team that launched the wide-body composite Boeing 777 airplane. Phil was elected President and a Member of the Board of Directors of Boeing in 1992 and later added the title of Chief Executive Officer in 1996 and, in 1997, was elected Chairman.  Elected a member of the National Academy of Engineering in 1985, he is also an honorary fellow of the Royal Aeronautical Society and an honorary fellow of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics.

"There are few individuals with the breadth of experience, expertise and influence in our industry as Phil Condit, and we're honored to have him as a member of our Board of Advisors," said Kirk Hawkins, Founder & CEO. "Phil's ongoing input will be invaluable from a design and engineering standpoint, as well as aircraft production and business operations."

"The ICON A5 is an exceptional aircraft," says Phil Condit. What first got my attention with ICON was the brilliant engineering I saw in the A5. But, what really got me involve with the company was ICON's extraordinary team.  ICON's ability to execute across so many critical disciplines from design, to engineering, to marketing, to business leadership is truly exceptional."

Condit joins an elite group of Aviation industry and business savants that comprise ICON's Board of Directors, including John Dorton,  CEO of Mastercraft Boats;  Jim Ellis, Founder of Asurion; Vern Raburn, Founder and Former CEO of Eclipse Aviation;  and Esther Dyson, President of EDventures among others.
