EDGEWOOD, N.Y., Aug. 30 (UPI) -- CPI Aerostructures Inc. of New York has received a $17 million order from Boeing for A-10 structural wing assemblies.
The A-10, designed during the Cold War as an anti-armor attack aircraft, is being used by the U.S. Air Force in Afghanistan for close ground support.
CPI Aero said the purchase order for 49 ship sets of assemblies from Boeing's Space & Security unit is a follow-on order for CPI Aero's previously announced long-term requirements contract to support Boeing's A-10 Wing Replacement Program.
The A-10 WRP contract between Boeing and CPI Aero is worth up to approximately $81 million for the production of a variety of structural assemblies for up to 242 enhanced wings.
CPI Aero to date has received $33 million of orders for the A-10 WRP program, it said.
"We are proud of our performance on this program and are excited about this follow-on order,"said Edward J. Fred, CPI Aero's chief executive officer and president. "As we continue to demonstrate our assembly capabilities to the Boeing A-10 Wing Replacement Team, we hope to be considered for additional opportunities for assemblies and systems integration on this platform."
