US manufacturer Boeing said it will fly the newest members of its commercial aircraft families at the Farnborough International Air Show later this month and introduce new tools in the push for more sustainable and autonomous flight.
The 737-10, making its international debut, will join the 777-9 on the static and flying display. The planes, each of which are 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 to further reduce carbon emissions. The company will also unveil a modeling tool that will provide useful insights into 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 and landing (eVTOL) air taxi. The "Cora" development vehicle is pilotless, helping promote autonomous capabilities in aviation. The manufacturer will highlight other autonomous capabilities at the show, including its MQ-25 unmanned aerial refueling and Airpower Teaming System (ATS).
