KC-46 critical design review officially closed

The Air Force officially closed the KC-46 Weapon System Critical Design Review (CDR) on August 21, one month ahead of the Sept. 24 contractual date.
This formal closure of the July Weapon System Design Review represents the culmination of more than 10 months of component and sub-system design reviews, resolution of all resulting action items and completion of all CDR criteria established in the Air Force’s contract with Boeing.
Closure of CDR formally establishes the KC-46 design and now allows the program to progress into its manufacturing and development test phases.
The KC-46 is based on the Boeing 767-200ER commercial aircraft.
