Boeing KC-46 tanker programme completes prelim design review
The Boeing KC-46 tanker programme has completed a preliminary design review (PDR) with the US Air Force, a key milestone in the development of the next-generation aerial refuelling tanker.
The review demonstrated that the preliminary design of the KC-46A tanker meets system requirements and establishes the basis for proceeding with detailed design. Boeing remains on plan to deliver 18 combat-ready KC-46A tankers by 2017.
“I’m happy with Boeing’s performance. They’re maintaining a very tight focus on meeting commitments and staying on or ahead of schedule. The program remains on a good path,” said Air Force Major General Chris Bogdan, KC-46 Program Executive Officer. “This is important news for the nation’s warfighters, because it reaffirms our commitment to delivering the KC-46A tanker on schedule.”
The programme’s next major milestone is a critical design review (CDR) that will take place in the summer of 2013. The CDR will determine that the design of the KC-46A is mature and ready to proceed to the manufacturing phase.
