SINGAPORE, Feb. 6, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- At the
Singapore Airshow this month, the largest in Southeast Asia, Boeing (NYSE: BA) will
showcase its industry-leading portfolio of commercial, defense and
support services by highlighting advanced systems and capabilities
focused on safe and sustainable aerospace. Boeing's presence at the
show will include its newest fuel-efficient widebody jet, the 777X,
along with the company's offerings in maritime patrol aircraft,
advanced fighters and trainers, and autonomous systems.
"We are looking forward to gathering with our industry
colleagues in Singapore, in
support of the recovery of aviation in the Southeast Asia region, as it provides us an
opportunity to engage with customers, government officials,
partners, suppliers, media and other stakeholders from the region,"
said Alex Feldman, president of
Boeing Southeast Asia. "We will highlight our investment in, and
commitment to, technology, innovation and sustainability, building
the foundation for the long-term growth of the aerospace
industry."
During the show, a Boeing 777X flight test airplane will make
its Asia debut, demonstrating
aerial maneuvers that showcase its new carbon-fiber composite wing
and quiet GE9X engines, which contribute to the airplane family's
leading environmental performance. Based on the most successful
twin-aisle airplane ever, the 777, and with advanced technologies
from the 787 Dreamliner family, the 777-9 will be the world's
largest and most efficient twin-engine jet, delivering 10% better
fuel use, emissions and operating costs than the competition.
Boeing's exhibit at the show will also highlight the F-15, P-8
Poseidon, T-7A Advanced Pilot Training System, as well as
autonomous technology including the Boeing Airpower Teaming System,
which is the company's first uncrewed system to be designed and
developed in Australia. Designed
to provide a transformational capability for global defense
customers, it is the company's largest investment in a new uncrewed
aircraft program outside the United
States. This purpose-built aircraft can be missionized to
suit country-specific needs.
The United States Department of Defense corral is expected to
display the KC-46A Pegasus, P-8A Poseidon, and C-17 Globemaster
III.
Additionally, Boeing will highlight its growing digital
ecosystem of services, including integrated flight operations, a
data-driven supply chain, e-commerce, predictive maintenance,
digitally enabled MROs and competency-based training for commercial
and defense customers. Showcased service offerings use digital
innovation to reduce fuel use and support sustainability targets
for customers utilizing all airplane platforms.
Boeing will also focus on measures to deliver a safer, more
efficient and sustainable air transportation system for the future
with an emphasis on the Confident Travel Initiative, a Boeing led
effort to provide passengers and crew a safe, healthy and efficient
travel experience and deliver that information to governments and
the general public.

- Boeing's Commercial Market Outlook (CMO) forecasts that rising
air travel will see the airplane fleet in Southeast Asia growing five percent by 2040,
resulting in the demand for more than 4400 new airplanes valued at
$700 billion. Single-aisle jets will
account for more than 80% of the deliveries, which will well
position the region to connect the domestic routes in Southeast Asia and key leisure routes between
China and Northeast Asia. Widebody jets including
passenger and cargo models will total over 800 airplanes. Tied to
economic and fleet growth, demand for maintenance, repair, overhaul
and modifications account for a majority of projected commercial
aviation services demand.
