BDS’ Phantom Works research, development, and prototyping
division will operate a secure production facility in Mesa, Arizona. The
155,000-square-foot facility’s construction phase is now complete, and the centre
is expected to be fully operational this autumn.
Ted Colbert, Defence, Space & Security president and CEO,
said, “The new Advanced Composite Fabrication Centre and the factories that
will follow it position Boeing to deliver the most digitally advanced, simply
and efficiently produced and intelligently supported aircraft to military
customers.”
