Slater Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 This appears to be an extensive upgrade to existing aircraft, or does this just apply to new-build airframes? http://www.popularmechanics.com/military/aviation/a26833/us-navy-approves-boeings-f-1-8/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troffa Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 Upgrade to existing in-service airframes, over the next five years, with the first Upgraded aircraft back in service in 2019. A midlife update program similar to the GR1/ GR4 Tornado that the RAF got. Of course, once the technical integration of the new Avionics and Airframe changes are designed and produced, Boeing could offer the Block III Standard aircraft as a new build to any future customers cleared for the technology, or as a separate upgrade scheme for existing customers like the RAAF.
