The first combat aircraft manufactured in Australia in over 50 years will be the Boeing MQ-28A “Ghost Bat” in homage to a carnivorous bat species native to Australia known to hunt in packs.

It will also be Boeing’s first aircraft made in Australia at its brand new facility in Queensland, the only Boeing manufacturing facility outside of the United States.
