Mesa, Arizona — Customer demand for the AH-64D Apache Longbow has strengthened helicopter production here in Mesa. The AH-64D is the next generation of the combat-proven AH-64A Apache, which is in service with defense forces around the world. In 1998, Boeing delivered 42 Apache Longbows to the U.S. Army, with a contract to produce 190 more helicopters through 2002. Also in 1998, deliveries began to the Royal Netherlands Air Force and the United Kingdom.

assemblies for a wide range of Boeing products in Mesa. Reducing the
number of wire types from 854 to 150 has made it possible to establish
much more cost-efficient processes.
