The Boeing Co. has made significant progress building the first of three X-45C air vehicles it plans to assemble for the Joint Unmanned Combat Air Systems (J-UCAS) demonstration program, a company official said Oct. 13.

The center fuselage for the first plane is nearly complete structurally, and parts for the wings are flowing in to Boeing. Within the next month, the company expects to accept the first General Electric F404 engine that will power the X-45C.
