Boeing
has completed fuselage integration and wing assembly of the Indian Air
Force's (IAF) first C-17 Globemaster III heavy-lift transport aircraft
at its Long Beach manufacturing facility in the US.
The 'major join' ceremony saw the integration of forward, centre and aft fuselages into the airlifter. The work signifies an important step forward in production of the first of ten aircraft ordered by India under a $4.1bn contract in June 2011.
India's consul general N Parthasarathi said assembly of India's first C-17 further strengthens the growing defence relationship between India and the US.
''As India strives to become a global reservoir of highly skilled and technologically sophisticated manpower, we will witness an escalating technology transfer, collaborative joint research and development, and co-production of defense items between our two countries," said Parthasarathi.
