Boeing chooses Aussie site

摘要

BOEING HAS selected Wellcamp Aerospace and Defence Precinct at Wellcamp Airport in Toowoomba, Queensland, as the preferred site for the company's first unmanned systems assembly facility outside North America to produce and assemble the Boeing Airpower Teaming System (also known as Loyal Wingman), which first flew in February 2021. Treasurer and Minister for Investment Cameron Dick said the decision is "the result of an arrangement our government entered into with Boeing Australia last year to support the establishment of the primary final assembly facility for the Boeing Loyal Wingman in Queensland, subject to defence orders. It's expected the project could generate up to A$1bn dollars for Queensland's economy over 10 years, with more than just defence industries to benefit".
