Boeing Co’s KC-46A refueling plane has been approved for production, with work underway for the first two low-rate initial production lots to be awarded in the next 30 days, the U.S. Air Force said on Friday.
“The KC-46 program has made significant strides in moving the Air Force toward the modernization needed in our strategic tanker fleet,” Air Force Secretary Deborah Lee James said in a statement announcing the approval.
