First flight of fully-equipped KC-46 delayed again by one month

The recent accident whereby wrong fuel chemicals were pumped into the fuel system of the first fully-equipped KC-46 has caused the maiden flight to be delayed by another month.

“This issue will extend the projected first flight date by roughly a month beyond the previous plan to fly (the plane) in late August, early September,” Boeing spokesman Chick Ramey said in an email to Reuters.
