Spirit Defense, A Boeing Company

We've enjoyed two successful days at the Farnborough International Airshow. During our first international airshow as Spirit Defense, A Boeing Company, we’ve had the opportunity to connect with customers, suppliers, government leaders and partners. Those conversations have reinforced the importance of collaboration across the defense industrial base and the shared commitment to supporting the mission. It's been a pleasure to represent the 1,600+ teammates of Spirit Defense on the international stage. #FIA2026 #SpiritDefense #AirCapitaloftheWorld

The recognition of Wichita as the nation’s top city for aerospace and defense manufacturing reinforces what we’ve long known. This community brings together generations of aerospace experience, world-class engineering talent, skilled manufacturing professionals and strong industry partnerships. It’s an ecosystem built to solve complex challenges. We're proud to be part of that legacy, and we're proud to call Wichita home. #SpiritDefense #AirCapitaloftheWorld

People are at the heart of every mission we support. This week provided an opportunity to bring teammates together, share updates on our progress and reinforce the priorities guiding Spirit Defense as we continue building our future. Being People Focused is a core value and behavior because we know our success starts with the talented professionals who bring their expertise, dedication, and commitment to work every day. As we prepare to represent Spirit Defense at the Farnborough International Airshow next week, we’re proud to represent the people behind the work.

We’re looking forward to attending the 2026 Farnborough International Airshow—our first airshow as Spirit Defense. As an independent supplier to the defense industry, we’ll be joining the Greater Wichita Partnership to meet with customers, partners and industry leaders. Farnborough provides an opportunity to reconnect with the global aerospace and defense community, showcase the work our teammates deliver every day, and discuss the engineering, manufacturing and lifecycle support capabilities that help our customers meet today’s mission requirements and prepare for what’s next. If you’re attending Farnborough, let's connect. Read more here: https://lnkd.in/gAZgjAx9 #FIA2026 #Defense #Aerospace #Manufacturing #SpiritDefense
