“For example, on KC-46 Tanker, we recently approached our best-ever factory performance going back to pre-pandemic levels of productivity, and we remain on track this year to deliver the most tanker aircraft since 2019.”

In context

“FAA to fold this into our certification plan, and we remain on track for schedule of first delivery in 2027. In the quarter, we also achieved an important milestone on the 787 program. We obtained FAA certification for an increased maximum takeoff weight for the 787-9 and the 787-10, enabling those models to fly further or carry more cargo, creating additional value and revenue-generating opportunities for our 787 operators. In BDS, work to reduce risk across our development programs using active management is leading to win-win outcomes for our customers and Boeing. This means we're proactively working challenging programs by looking more closely at risk, requirements, schedules and customer needs. Combined with stronger focus on program management rigor, we're seeing good progress here. For example, on KC-46 Tanker, we recently approached our best-ever factory performance going back to pre-pandemic levels of productivity, and we remain on track this year to deliver the most tanker aircraft since 2019. We also achieved an important milestone on MQ-25 with completion of high-speed taxi tests and the first flight is imminent. The Stingray is our first unmanned aerial refueler for the U.S. Navy. We are now one step closer to providing this first-of-its-kind capability to further enable the U.S. to project power worldwide. Overall, I'm pleased with the progress our BDS development programs are making, and there are no major EAC adjustments. Let's turn now to the first quarter accomplishments. As we start the year, we continue to drive stable operations across our factories, enabled by a focus on safety, quality and performance. Our team is more engaged in embracing our values and behaviors, which we first shared with our team around this time last year. That increased commitment is helping”
