Boeing installs MESA antenna on first 737-700 Peace Eagle airborne early warning aircraft

Boeing installs MESA antenna on first 737-700 Peace Eagle airborne early warning aircraft

Boeing has installed a multi-role electronically scanned array (MESA) antenna on the first of four 737-700s for the Turkish air force's Peace Eagle airborne early warning and control (AEW&C) programme.

The Northrop Grumman-built MESA antenna is the critical sensor aboard the aircraft. The radar is able to track airborne and maritime targets simultaneously. The antenna is 10.75m (35ft 6in), 3.3m high and weighs more than 3t.

Delivery of the four Peace Eagle AEW&C aircraft is scheduled to be completed by the end of 2008.
