The French Air Force placed the largest order for 17 aircraft while Jordan and QinetiQ order two each. The QinetiQ order is for the support of the Empire Test Pilots’ School.
Jordan exercised an option for two aircraft, bringing the total number ordered to 10. Deliveries to Jordan will start this year.
