SAN FRANCISCO, March 2 (Xinhua) -- Boeing said on Tuesday that it welcomes the announcement by the Australian government to co-develop a further three Loyal Wingman aircraft to advance the air-teaming vehicle, payloads and associated support and training capabilities.
The agreement will increase the aircraft's production capability to six aircraft for Royal Australian Air Force and is valued at 115 million U.S. dollars over three years. The Loyal Wingman is the first military combat aircraft to be designed, engineered and manufactured in Australia in more than 50 years, the announcement said.
"The Australian government's continued investment in the innovative Loyal Wingman program will create jobs and opportunities for over 35 Australian suppliers and small businesses," said Brendan Nelson, president of Boeing Australia, New Zealand & South Pacific. Enditem
