]]> Boeing just doubled down on its commitment to provide the U.S. Air Force with an American-made option in its ongoing T-X trainer aircraft competition. Boeing T-X will be more than 90 percent made in America’s heartland, with major parts manufactured in Red Oak, Texas — just outside of Dallas — and final aircraft assembly in St. Louis, Missouri.

The U.S. Air Force issued a challenge to build a new aircraft that will be used to train fighter pilots for generations to come, and Boeing answered the call by providing a purpose-built training system that offers a great value for the taxpayer and superior capability for our military.

Boeing recently announced that its supplier, Texas-based Triumph Group, Inc., will build wings and other structural pieces for T-X at its Texas factory — potentially creating up to 950 new direct and indirect jobs.

Additionally, Saab — Boeing’s T-X partner — announced it would establish a U.S. based production capability for the portion of the aircraft they would manufacture. Ultimately, all of these parts will be assembled at Boeing’s St. Louis facility — potentially supporting another 1,800 American jobs.

Boeing T-X has one engine, twin tails, stadium seating and an advanced cockpit with embedded training. The system is designed to evolve as the Air Force’s technology, missions, and training needs change.

As the Air Force’s competition heats up, please be on the lookout for ways you can help support this American-made aircraft. We’ll need your help speaking out to support “Made in the USA.”
