Airborne early warning & controlUnited States / Australia2009In service
The Boeing E-7 Wedgetail is a twin-engine airborne early warning and control aircraft developed for Australia from the 737 airframe. Its fixed dorsal MESA radar array has a distinctive surfboard-like shape, unlike the rotating domes of the E-3 and E-2.
2009 is the first-operator delivery milestone, not IOC. Crew, dimensions, radar range and other configuration-specific performance remain unstated.
