Raytheon Does Cushy Business In Posh Interiors For BBJ Farnborough, England – Raytheon Systems Co. announced today it had won contracts totaling $125 million to design and install custom VIP interiors in 11 Boeing Business Jets and one 777. The 777 modification is the first for that jet. Ken Peek, director of commercial programs for Raytheon's Systems unit, said the work will be performed for both domestic and international customers at the company's Waco, Texas facility. Peek added that Raytheon expects to win similar work on "numerous" pending contracts for other Boeing Business Jets from heads of state and foreign governments. "Entering into this new Boeing Business Jet market was a natural for us," Peek said at a press conference Wednesday, "as we have a long history of modifying aircraft interiors for heads of state and other executives." The 11 BBJ interiors Raytheon will install constitute almost one-third of the 35 BBJs Boeing has announced it has sold. The Seattle-based jetliner manufacturer sells the BBJ, a 737-700 fuselage mated to a 737-800 wing and landing gear, "green" – without paint or interior. The purchaser then can select custom interior layouts to be installed by Raytheon or one of four other Boeing-approved after-market modification centers. Peek said that in addition to custom interiors, Raytheon Systems can supply airborne entertainment, satellite communications gear, security systems and - for the head of state with powerful enemies - missile warning and protection systems.
