Boeing Defense

The U.S. and Europe are stronger together. We help European countries fill key defense gaps — like secure communications and heavy-lift helicopters — by collaborating and developing capabilities outside the U.S.

More power. More range. The @USArmy has received its fifth and sixth production CH-47F Block II #Chinook helicopters. The modernized heavy-lift helicopters are undergoing a series of user evaluations to highlight their enhanced capabilities.

Combat proven, future ready! Check out these Apache helicopters from the US, UK, Netherlands and Qatar at @AirTattoo. 🚁 The E-model #AH64 Apache is defending the future of battlefield dominance, providing interoperable, evolving capabilities to allies and partners. #RIAT25

We’re hooked on #Chinook at @AirTattoo. 🤩 The talented Royal Air Force @ChinookDisplay team showcased how they use the heavy-lift helicopter for underslung loads, internally loaded vehicles, and more. See them in action.

Now that's how you make an @AirTattoo debut! The @RoyalAirForce's first E-7 joins the @RAFRedArrows in a world's first fly-past at #RIAT25.

The first flight of a Chinook Mark 6 equipped with an Infrared Suppression System (IRSS) recently took place in the UK with @DefenceES. IRSS will enhance the #Chinook's safety and operational effectiveness by making it less detectable to heat-seeking missiles. More:…

The @BritishArmy Air Corps Display Team is bringing the heat at #RIAT25. 🔥 See the crew's skilled coordination and maneuverability with the E-model #AH64 Apache, the world’s most advanced and proven attack helicopter.

Testing complete. The @USAirForce has successfully wrapped up the #MH139 Grey Wolf’s Initial Operation Test and Evaluation flights. ✅ Learn more: bit.ly/4lYRdLY 📸: U.S. Air Force photo by Airman 1st Class Jack Rodriguez Escamilla

The Procurement Agency for the German Armed Forces (BAAINBw) and the German Navy stopped by the #P8 finishing center to check on the progress of their first P-8A Poseidon. Hear why the service says it'll be an "awesome feeling" to receive the first sub hunter later this year.

Helicopter mobility 🤝 drone capabilities The @RoyalAirForce successfully tested the launch of First Person View drones from a CH-47 #Chinook at @RAF_Odiham. Midair drone deployment bypasses ground-based constraints like long setup times and personnel exposure. More:…

#OTD in 2015, Australia’s first #EA18G Growler (A46-301) took flight in St. Louis. A decade on, we’ve worked with @AusAirForce, @USNavy & local industry to advance its world-leading electronic attack capability — from tactical jamming to electronic protection.

The RAF E-7 Wedgetail WT001 completed another test flight today to confirm aircraft systems function correctly. The E-7 Wedgetail aircraft, in service with other nations, is the most capable and effective airborne early warning and control platform in operation today.

Thank you, @USAirForce, for selecting us to deliver Load Adaptable Modular (LAM) pylons for your B-1 fleet. The LAM pylons will bring new capabilities and allow the B-1 to continue to adapt to evolving needs. Learn more: bit.ly/4lR38vD 📷 @EdwardsAFB

It’s here! The forward fuselage for the first production T-7A #RedHawk has arrived from a 650-mile trip from Qarbon Aerospace. The forward fuselage of the @USAirForce advanced trainer was designed and fabricated using digital technology and will begin assembly later this summer.

Very cool! Thanks McKinley Climatic Laboratory team @TeamEglin for taking the T-7A #RedHawk from hot to cold and successfully testing its performance in varied environments.

Thank you, @SpaceForceDoD, for selecting us for the Evolved Strategic SATCOM program, a key step in enhancing U.S. strategic SATCOM capabilities. Our satellites will provide secure, resilient communication for national defense, ensuring peace through strength. Read more:…

We’ve completed our first flight at an operational Air Force base with the support of @AusAirForce, testing our ability to deploy and fly from unfamiliar environments. 📷 F-35A Lightning II taxis past MQ-28 at RAAF Base Tindal. More: goboeing.co/4kWlZVM

Just Chillin.’ ❄️ The #T7A Red Hawk just finished anti-fog, frost and ice ground testing with @TeamEglin in the McKinley Climatic Laboratory. The advanced trainer is being subjected to radical environmental conditions to validate its systems in varied climates.

Check out our #T7A Red Hawk as it leaves St. Louis and heads to @TeamEglin for climate testing. The jet is being evaluated on how it withstands the rigors of hot and cold temperatures and environmental conditions at the McKinley Climatic Laboratory.

What's it like flying an F-15C vs F-15EX? Capt. Alan "Gang" Greene, from the @142ndWG explains what game-changing capabilities the #F15EX brings to the @USAirForce.
