Boeing P-8I In Nausena Livery, Critical Design Review Shortly

The second image, released just after the P-8I deal was signed with India, had just the Indian Navy roundels. The first image, recently released with "nausena" painted on, is a closer depiction of what the IN P-8I will really look like.

The Indian government will shortly exercise options for four more P-8Is from Boeing, taking its total order to 12 airplanes. The P-8I for India is also shortly to undergo its critical design review (CDR), which according to one Boeing definition describes it as "a symbolic portal separating concept and design from integration, fabrication and testing".
