Boeing will showcase the newest and largest of its 737 MAX and 777X families of airplanes at the Farnborough International Airshow this month and showcase new tools in the effort for more sustainable and autonomous flight.
The 737 MAX 10, making its international debut, will the 777-9X in the daily and static display. The planes, each of the most fuel-efficient in their class, will fly to the show on a blend of sustainable aviation fuel, which Boeing sees as an important lever in further reducing carbon emissions.
The company will also showcase a modeling tool that will provide actionable insights into strategies the aviation industry can use to achieve net zero emissions by 2050.
Another decarbonization strategy is electric propulsion, and Boeing's t venture Wisk Aero will make the European debut of its all-electric vertical takeoff (eVTOL) air taxi. The “Cora” development vehicle has no pilot, helping to develop autonomous capabilities in aviation.
Boeing will highlight other autonomous capabilities at the show, including its MQ-25 unmanned aerial tanker and Airpower Teaming System (ATS).
“In the four years since the last Farnborough Airshow, the world has seen the critical social and economic role that the aerospace and defense industry plays. concrete steps to enable innovation and clean technology”said sir michael arthur , president of Boeing International. “We look forward to sharing the progress we are making.”
Below are some of the highlights from Boeing scheduled for the air show starting in 18 July 2022 .
Commercial Airplanes
The 737 MAX 10 will be on the fair from the 18th to the 21st of July. The greatest member of the family 737 MAX will provide operators with more capacity, greater fuel efficiency and the best per-seat economy of any single-aisle aircraft.
The 737 MAX family, which has received more than 3.300 net orders, leverages advanced aerodynamic design and highly efficient engines to reduce fuel use and emissions by 20% and noise footprint by 50% compared to the airplanes they replace.
The 777-9X, which is the largest and most efficient twin-engine jet in the world, will be at the air show from the 18th to 20 July.
Based on the most successful twin-aisle aircraft – the 777 – and advanced technologies from the 787 Dreamliner family, the 777-9X will deliver 10% better fuel use, emissions and operating costs than the competition. The family 777 times has more than 340 orders from leading carriers around the world.
The Defense, Space and Security exhibition
Boeing's defense portion will feature its highly capable military helicopters, including the CH-47 Chinook and AH-64 Apache, and mobility and surveillance aircraft, such as the P-8A Poseidon, E-7 Wedgetail and KC-46A Pegasus.
Boeing will also showcase some of its latest and most advanced programs digitally, including the T-7A trainer. Red hawk and the ATS. In addition, the US Department of Defense corral is expected to display the FA-18E/F, F-15E, P-8A, AH-64E and CH-47F.
Global Services
Boeing will highlight its customer-centric services business focused on keeping the world's fleet flying safely, efficiently and sustainably by combining OEM expertise with data-driven innovation.
This includes showcasing parts, modifications, digital solution offerings, maintenance and training, as well as an extensive global supply chain, maintenance and logistics network.
Sustainability
Boeing will present its vision for a sustainable aerospace future based on collaboration, technical research, data and extensive testing of technologies including sustainable jet fuel, hydrogen and electric power.
Autonomy
Boeing will highlight autonomous platforms such as the MQ-25, ATS and Cora from Wisk Aero. The company is leveraging decades of engineering experience to accelerate autonomous capabilities, which can enable sustainable and affordable modes of transport as the world grapples with a growing population and aging infrastructure.
Boeing has made significant investments in California-based Wisk Aero, a leader in Advanced Air Mobility and developer of the U.S.'s first all-electric, autonomous air taxi. The lift and thrust rotors are expected to the simplicity and certification of the entry-to-market vehicle.
