Boeing has selected Triumph Group, as a major supplier for its T-X Air Force training jet. If the Air Force awards the contract to Boeing, Triumph’s Aerospace Structures business unit, located in Red Oak, Texas, will supply the wing, vertical tail and horizontal tail structures, with opportunities for additional work, generating 950 direct and indirect jobs. This announcement follows Boeing’s May 15 decision to assemble T-X at its St. Louis facility. The first two new, purpose-built T-X aircraft have proven the design’s low-risk, performance and repeat-ability in manufacturing. “Boeing T-X is a new, flexible design that meets the requirements of the U.S. Air Force,” said Karl Jeppesen, vice president of Supplier Management for Boeing Defense, Space & Security. “Triumph Group is a long-standing supplier to Boeing, teaming with us on iconic programs such as V-22 Osprey and C-17 Globemaster III. It takes partnerships like this to win and position us for a bold, bright future, and we are proud to welcome Triumph as a major supplier and member of this team.”
