Boeing Test and Evaluation<br />

The new UK team’s test and evaluation work allows operational<br />

capability to be declared on day one of service.<br />

Boeing Test & Evaluation (BT&E) works globally across the<br />

enterprise, ensuring that Boeing products and services meet<br />

the highest standards of safety, quality and reliability. BT&E<br />

is committed to providing the best value with our business<br />

partners and delivering safe, efficient and effective testing.<br />

BT&E provides a global network of subject matter experts<br />

delivering testing in both laboratories and on aircraft platforms.<br />

Over the past two years, Boeing has developed a test and<br />

evaluation capability in the UK. Working closely with the<br />

MoD and industry, the UK team has successfully completed<br />

complex, time critical test activities on Chinook Mk5, Mk6 and<br />

safety modifications for the wider Chinook fleet, such as the<br />

Traffic Advisory System.<br />

The team is made up of experimental test aircrew, aircrew<br />

instructors, maintenance test aircrew, flight test engineers,<br />

instrumentation engineers and operational support staff. Using<br />

company-wide processes allows the UK team to play an<br />

integral part in the globalisation of Boeing, enabling effective,<br />

timely and affordable test and evaluation delivery to customers<br />

in the UK and across Europe.<br />
