N674DS

The airframe bearing tail number N674DS is a Boeing P-8I (737-800ERX / P-8 Poseidon) completed in 2021 with manufacturer serial number 64893. The airframe is recorded as owned by Boeing Co of Seattle, WA, US, and the registration is listed as US; no operator transfer or third-party lease is documented, and the airframe has remained with Boeing Co in its initial post-delivery ownership. Notable registry actions: Not published. Valuation and public condition reports: Not published. The entry reflects a relatively recent build with mission-specific outfitting by the manufacturer.

The aircraft features a missionized interior configured with flight crew stations and multiple mission consoles, an internal weapons bay and sonobuoy launch capability, supporting extended maritime patrol, anti-submarine and intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance missions. Avionics and mission systems fitted to this airframe include a Raytheon AN/APY-10 radar, AN/ALQ-240 electronic support measures, and tactical datalinks with Link-11/16 connectivity, enabling integrated sensor-to-shooter and coalition datalink operations. Typical mission profiles for this configuration emphasize long-endurance transoceanic patrols consistent with the airframe’s 4,500 nm range and cruise speed of 440 kts; sorties would operate from the owner’s Seattle-area facilities or forward-deployed bases compatible with US registration. Maintenance considerations derive from its mission systems fit, internal weapons bay and sonobuoy handling provisions, requiring specialized support and avionics sustainment.

This specific airframe is a member of the Boeing P-8I family (designated 737-800ERX / P-8 Poseidon), combining turbofan efficiency with maritime mission systems in a fixed-wing multi-engine category. The documented performance figures — 4,500 nm range, 440 kts cruise and 41,000 ft ceiling — position it for extended maritime patrol and long transit legs. Seating for 9 and comprehensive missionization reflect a platform optimized for crewed tactical missions rather than passenger transport, with procurement and lifecycle considerations centered on mission-systems sustainment and airframe avionics integration.
