Boeing Submits Response to the Future Fighter Capability Project Request for Proposal
July 31 2020 - 12:30PM
Boeing [NYSE:BA] today announced that the Super Hornet response for
the Future Fighter Capability Project (FFCP) was submitted on
Tuesday, July 28. The F/A-18 Super Hornet Block III is a proven,
affordable choice for the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) and one
that would bring unparalleled, guaranteed opportunities to Canadian
industry from coast to coast.
From Jim Barnes, Director, Canada Fighter Sales, Boeing
Defense, Space & Security:“We have a partnership with
Canada that spans more than 100 years. We don’t take that lightly.
The response we submitted today builds upon that great legacy and
allows us to continue to bring the best of Boeing to Canada and the
best of Canada to Boeing. The Super Hornet is the most
cost-effective and capable option for the FFCP, and a Super Hornet
selection will help the RCAF meet their mission needs, while
leveraging existing infrastructure to drive down the long-term
sustainment cost of the aircraft. Our proven, two-engine design can
operate in the harshest environments and provide support no matter
where the mission takes its pilots. That, coupled with Boeing’s
100% guaranteed industrial plan, will also deliver long term,
well-paying jobs.”
