A-10
RE-WINGING A THUNDERBOLT
In 2007 and based upon expertise with Fighter / Attack aircraft, Boeing was selected to replace 173 wing sets on the Warthog.
ENDURING PLATFORM
Known as the Warthog, the A-10 Thunderbolt II is a twin-engine aircraft that provides close-air support of ground forces and employs a wide variety of conventional munitions.
INNOVATIVE ENGINEERING
To replace wings on the A-10, Boeing used an innovative approach to interpret and de-conflict legacy designs. In early 2015, Boeing delivered the 100th wing set.
HEAVILY ARMED
The A-10 provides close-air support through its mix of weaponry, including a Gatling 30 mm Avenger rotary cannon and up to 16,000 pounds of ordinance.
3-D MODELING
Using 3-D modeling, Boeing provided the baseline engineering foundation for the A-10 Wing Replacement program and was recognized by Aviation Week for its innovative approach.
