Boeing’s KC-46 Vision System Update Fails to Offset Flydubai Order Loss
Boeing shares edged lower despite showcasing a new vision system for its KC-46 Pegasus tanker at the Dubai Airshow. The demonstration of the delayed RVS 2.0 technology—originally slated for 2023 but now expected by 2027—provided modest counterbalance to flydubai's decision to award a major aircraft order to rival Airbus.
The aerospace giant's incremental upgrades to its existing RVS 1.5 system address persistent issues with dynamic lighting and depth perception, critical for operational reliability. These technical improvements arrive as Boeing faces mounting pressure to deliver on overdue military contracts while maintaining commercial market share.
