Boeing Unveil New ecoDemonstrator B777-200

The livery of Boeing's ecoDemonstrator is a tribute to a decade of testing to reduce fuel use, emissions and noise.

About 30 new technologies will be tested by the latest ecoDemonstrator, which is a Boeing-owned plane.

The ecoDemonstrator will conduct six months of flight and ground tests in the summer.

• In collaboration with NASA, SMART vortex generators – small vertical vanes on the wing – improve aerodynamic efficiency during takeoff and landing.
• A system to conserve onboard water and reduce weight as well as fuel use.
• Additively manufactured airplane and engine parts to help reduce fuel use and manufacturing waste.
• An environmentally preferred refrigerant and a new fire suppression agent to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
• A heads-up enhanced vision system for pilots to improve operational efficiency.
• Continued comprehensive study of the impact of sustainable aviation fuel on the reduction of emissions.
• For all flight tests, the 777-200ER will fly on the highest approved blend of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) available.

Stan Deal, Boeing Commercial Airplanes president and CEO, said, "Boeing is committed to support our customers and enable the commercial aviation industry to meet our shared commitment to net zero carbon emissions by midcentury." The ecoDemonstrator program's rigorous testing of new technologies improves the environmental performance of our products and services.

The two most important ingredients to a more sustainable future are innovative technologies and partnerships with customers, suppliers, government agencies and academia. We look forward to continuing the program to help decarbonize aviation.

The Boeing ecoDemonstrator program has taken new technologies out of the lab and tested them in an operational environment. More than 200 technologies have been tested to help decarbonize aviation, improve operational efficiency, and enhance safety. Boeing's products and services have progressed a third of thetested technologies.
