Boeing QF-16 aerial target completes first flight test

Issue No. 11 | June 01-15, 2012

The Boeing Company and the US Air Force completed the first manned flight of the QF-16 Full Scale Aerial Target (FSAT) on May 4 at Cecil Field in Jacksonville, Florida. The Air Force awarded a multi-year contract to Boeing in March 2010 that represented Phase I of the initial engineering, manufacturing and development of the QF-16, with options to buy up to 126 FSATs.

“With this successful first flight of the QF-16, the Air Force, Boeing and our supplier-partners have laid the groundwork for the programme to enter low-rate production in 2013 and make its first production delivery in 2014,” said Torbjorn Sjogren, Boeing Vice President, Global Maintenance and Upgrades.
