Boeing tests new technologies in new 787-10 plane in partnership with Etihad Airways

Описание: Boeing is continuing to research new technologies despite the extensive economic damage wrought by COVID-19 on the aviation industry.

In the next few days, a brand new 787-10 will leave Boeing Field in Seattle for the company’s private airport in the quiet emptiness of Glasgow, Montana.

The plane is called an ecoDemonstrator, which has been temporarily modified to try out new technologies. Since 2012, this Boeing program has tested hundreds of new technologies in partnership with different airlines.

This airplane was outfitted in partnership with its new owner, Etihad Airways. Other partners include NASA and aviation company Safran Landing Systems, which will test multiple new technologies, including two ways to kill COVID-19 virus on surfaces inside the plane.
