Phantom Eye to fly missile defence payload


Boeing's high-altitude Phantom Eye technology demonstrator has secured its first customer, the US Missile Defense Agency (MDA).
The agency issued a $6.8 million contract modification to prepare Phantom Eye for installation of an unidentified payload following the aircraft's fourth flight. Boeing recently finished the third flight, and is planning a fourth for envelope expansion.
Phantom Eye, a liquid hydrogen-powered technology demonstrator, is scheduled for eight to nine flights in total.
