The UK government will buy nine new maritime patrol planes from Boeing in a decade-long deal worth £3bn.
The Ministry of Defence's deal for the submarine-hunting P-8A Poseidon aircraft also covers training, maintenance and support.
Boeing will build a new £100m facility for the planes at RAF Lossiemouth in Moray.
Prime Minister David Cameron announced the P-8A deal on Monday at the start of the Farnborough Airshow.
