Boeing Delivers Operational Flight Trainer for Australia's Wedgetail AEW&C Program

Return to News Release

SEATTLE, March 10, 2009 -- Boeing has delivered an Operational Flight Trainer ( OFT) to Australia for Project Wedgetail, an airborne early warning and control (AEW&C) program. Royal Australia Air Force pilots have used the OFT since October 2007 to familiarize themselves with the Wedgetail AEW&C flight deck and to develop training scenarios. The OFT is designed to accommodate the unique characteristics of the Wedgetail AEW&C system, including controls for the communication, aerial-refueling and Electronic Warfare Self Protection Systems.
