Boeing performed the first test flight of the Raytheon APS-154 Advanced Airborne Sensor (AAS) on a P-8A Poseidon at Boeing Field, Seattle, on April 13, launching a new stage in a shadowy but important intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance program that has been underway for more than a decade. The AAS milestone coincides with delivery of the first P-8A to be produced for the U.S. Navy under the third Low Rate Initial Production (LRIP-3) batch, marking the start of a new expansion phase which will see the operational fleet increase to 21 by the end of 2014.
When it came to the A320neo, Airbus deliberately focused on key propulsion and aerodynamic improvements to gain maximum performance advantage in the shortest possible development time. Now, with the A320neo set to start flight tests in October, industry sources claim that Airbus is shifting its focus to avionics, cabin and other system improvements that could sustain the A320 well into the 2020s.
Boeing is set to transfer customer support for all current production aircraft—except for the 787—to its recently created Southern California Engineering Design Center, as part of the company’s long-term strategy to diversify commercial aircraft engineering beyond the borders of its home state of Washington.
