The program has changed the way military derivatives of commercial airplanes are produced by Boeing. Instead of completely modifying the 737 fuselage after it comes out of the factory, P-8 modifications are built into the fuselage at Spirit AeroSystems in Wichita, Kan., before assembly on the Renton, Wash., production line. It has been a successful acquisition program for the U.S. Defense Department and will be a model for future commercial derivative programs, including the new KC-46 tanker.
