Boeing sues Virgin Galactic over mothership aircraft project
Posted: Sat, Mar 30, 2024, 10:09 AM ET (1409 GMT)
Boeing and a subsidiary have filed suit against Virgin Galactic over work on a new "mothership" aircraft project. In the suit, Boeing and Aurora Flight Sciences allege that Virgin Galactic has failed to pay more than $26 million in invoices under a contract announced in 2022 to develop an aircraft that would serve as the air-launch platform for Virgin's suborbital spaceplanes, replacing the current aircraft called VMS Eve. Boeing and Aurora also claim that Virgin has failed to destroy proprietary documents linked to that project that include trade secrets, some of which were provided inadvertently. Virgin Galactic denies the allegations.
