The U.S. Department of War awarded Boeing a $2.38 billion contract for 22 additional F-15EX fighters. The order brings the total number of F-15EX aircraft under contract to 120 and reinforces demand for the platform’s advanced cockpit and mission systems. Boeing plans to raise F-15EX production to two aircraft per month. The award adds to the company’s recent F/A-XX and F-47 fighter wins and supports longer-term defense production activity.
