Boeing delivered its final Peace Eagle Airborne Early Warning & Control aircraft to the Turkish Air Force on Wednesday.

The Peace Eagle Airborne Early Warning & Control is a military aircraft used for intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance missions. The plane can fly for 11 hours without refueling, with a range of over 5,000 nautical miles.

The aircraft delivered to the Turkish Air Force comes equipped with upgraded software and the final element of the ground support segment, the Software Support Center, which the previously delivered aircraft will have installed soon. The Peace Eagle is based on Boeing's 737-700 commercial plane.

Boeing collaborated with Turkish industrial partners Turkish Aerospace Industries, Turkish Airlines and others to complete the delivery and develop the aircraft's technological capabilities.

"Turkey is currently the only nation in this region with the AEW&C capability," Boeing Turkey managing director Aysem Sargin Isil said. "By combining Boeing's innovative engineering with the expertise provided by local Turkish industry partners, we've delivered an advanced world-class airborne surveillance system to our customer."

The delivery has Turkey joining Australia and South Korea in operating AEW&C platforms.
