The first parts for the Indian navy’s initial Boeing P-8I maritime reconnaissance and anti-submarine-warfare aircraft have entered manufacturing at Spirit AeroSystems in Wichita, Kan. The first part, cut on Dec. 6, is a bonded aluminum panel that later will be installed on the fuselage’s upper lobe to support an antenna. Spirit, which builds all fuselages for the Boeing 737 family on which the P-8 is based, is scheduled to deliver the P-8I fuselage to the Boeing Commercial Airplanes 737 assembly facility in Renton, Wash., in mid-2011.
LOS ANGELES — The U.S. Air Force says the second planned mission of the X-37B Orbital Test Vehicle (OTV) will “expand the operating envelope” of the autonomous space vehicle, potentially increasing the orbital cross-range and capability of landing in stronger crosswinds. Richard McKinney, Air Force undersecretary for space programs, says the second test X-37B – OTV-2 – is being prepared in Boeing’s California space facilities for transfer “soon” to Cape Canaveral. From there it will be launched on an Atlas V in the March-April 2011 time period.
