Radar cross-section testing has confirmed the aircraft's low-observable design as flight trials and operational demonstrations continue.
Joint development and testing will adapt the Australian-built aircraft to Bundeswehr requirements while building industrial capability in Germany.
The facility will include carbon fibre composites manufacture, along with advanced robotic assembly for major components, and final assembly and test capabilities.
A new composite fabrication centre for components for future combat aircraft will enable Boeing to scale a platform-agnostic, modular and flexible digital production system across future programs.
Teams have gathered aircraft performance data that will be used to inform and refine the digital twin of the Boeing Airpower Teaming System. Work to establish a final assembly facility in Toowoomba are also under way.
Leveraging Boeing's innovative processes, including model-based engineering techniques, such as a digital twin to digitally flight-test missions, the Australian team took the aircraft from design to flight in three years.
