ARLINGTON, Va., July 10,
2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Boeing [NYSE: BA] will fly
the newest and largest members of its 737 MAX and 777X airplane
families at the Farnborough International Airshow this month and
present new tools in the push toward more sustainable and
autonomous flight.
The 737-10, making its international debut, will join the 777-9
in the daily flying and static display. The airplanes, each one the
most fuel-efficient in its class, will fly to the show on a blend
of sustainable aviation fuel, which Boeing sees as a major lever
for further reducing carbon emissions. The company also will unveil
a modeling tool that will provide actionable insights on strategies
the aviation industry can use to reach net zero emissions by
2050.
Another decarbonization strategy is electric propulsion and
Boeing's joint venture Wisk Aero will make the European debut of
its all-electric vertical-takeoff-landing (eVTOL) air taxi. The
"Cora" development vehicle is pilotless, helping to advance
autonomous capabilities in aviation. Boeing will highlight other
autonomous capabilities at the show, including its MQ-25 uncrewed
aerial refueler 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 aerospace and
defence plays. We are excited to reconnect with our colleagues at
Farnborough as we address together the need for a more sustainable
future and take 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 Boeing's highlights scheduled for the airshow
starting on July 18, 2022.
Commercial Airplanes
The 737-10 will be on the show grounds July
18-21. The largest member of the 737 MAX family will provide
operators with more capacity, greater fuel efficiency and the best
per-seat economics of any single-aisle airplane. 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 20% and the noise footprint 50% compared to
airplanes they replace.
The 777-9, which is the world's largest and most efficient
twin-engine jet, will be at the airshow July
18-20. Based on the most successful twin-aisle airplane –
the 777 – and advanced technologies from the 787 Dreamliner family,
the 777-9 will deliver 10% better fuel use, emissions and operating
costs than the competition. The 777X family has more than 340
orders from leading operators around the world.
Defense, Space & Security
Boeing's exhibit will highlight 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 also will display some of its newest, most
digitally-advanced programs, including the T-7A Red Hawk trainer and ATS. In addition, the U.S.
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 that
is focused on keeping the world's fleet flying safely, efficiently
and sustainably by pairing OEM expertise with data-driven
innovation. This includes showcasing parts, modifications, digital,
sustainment, and training solutions offerings, as well as an
expansive global supply chain, maintenance and logistics
network.
Sustainability
Boeing will present its vision for a sustainable aerospace future
that is grounded in collaboration, technical research, data and
extensive testing of technologies including sustainable aviation
fuel, hydrogen and electric power.
Autonomy
Boeing will highlight autonomous platforms such as MQ-25, ATS, and
Wisk Aero's Cora.
The company is building on decades of engineering experience to
accelerate autonomous capabilities, which can enable sustainable
and accessible modes of transportation as the world confronts a
growing population and aging infrastructure. Boeing has made
significant investments in California-based Wisk Aero, a leading Advanced
Air Mobility company and developer of the first all-electric,
self-flying air taxi in the U.S. Wisk's configuration is an
important differentiator within the eVTOL market as the
independence of its lift and thrust rotors is expected to support
simplicity and certification of the go-to-market vehicle.
Other
Boeing will release its 2022 Commercial Market Outlook (CMO) on
July 17. The annual forecast builds
on 60 years of analysis and insights into airline strategies,
passenger demand and economic data, and is among the most accurate
forecasts in aviation.
Throughout the airshow, Boeing leaders will discuss market
opportunities, eVTOL, sustainability and other topics at media
briefings. See boeing.com/Farnborough and follow @Boeing on Twitter

The Boeing exhibit – Exhibit # A-U01, U23 – will feature an
immersive theater display and the company's aerospace and defense
capabilities across the lifecycle.
