Boeing has confirmed that it 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, is
scheduled to
join the 777-9 in the daily flying and static display. The
airplanes will fly
to the show on a blend of sustainable aviation fuel.
The
company will also 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," said Sir Michael Arthur,
president of Boeing International. "We look forward to sharing the
progress we are making." 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."

Commercial Airplanes
The 737-10 will be on the show grounds 18-21 July.
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 will be at the airshow 18-20 July.
Based on the 777 and
taking advanced technologies from the 787 Dreamliner family,
Boeing claims 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 operators around the world.
Defense, Space & Security
Boeing's exhibit will highlight
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.
The company 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, including showcasing
parts, modifications, digital, sustainment, and training solutions
offerings, as well as an expansive global supply chain,
maintenance and logistics network.
Sustainability
The aircraft manufacturer 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
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's exhibit (Exhibit # A-U01, U23) will
feature an immersive theater display and the company's aerospace
and defense capabilities across the lifecycle.
The company will release its 2022 Commercial Market
Outlook (CMO) on 17 July.
