Boeing has hit the 85% design drawing release point for the stretched 787-9 and begun the assembly of all the large sub-assemblies for the first aircraft, a year after the first of the -8 versions was handed over to launch customer All Nippon Airways.
Boeing has confirmed a $1.9 billion U.S. Navy order for 11 P-8A Poseidon maritime patrol aircraft, which the company describes as a “stepping-stone to full-rate production.” The order represents the manufacturer’s third low-rate initial production award, and follows two in 2011 that combined for 13 aircraft. The new order will take the Navy’s total fleet to 24, as part of an overall plan to acquire 117 as replacements for the Lockheed Martin P-3.
