Boeing has completed the first test flight of the E-7 Wedgetail aircraft destined for the UK’s Royal Air Force (RAF). 

The E-7 Wedgetail is an early warning and control aircraft (AEW&C) based on the Boeing 737 NG aircraft, which is used by many airlines around the world. It is capable of detecting and identifying multiple threats and targets at long distances and coordinate the actions of fighter jets and other military assets during combat situations. 

The flight test took place at Birmingham airport (BHX), since it is where the three aircraft ordered by the RAF are being fitted with all the necessary systems.
