Boeing tests new technologies at this year’s ecoDemonstrator programme:
2 June 2019:Boeing will be launching its latest round of flight-testing to assess new technologies that could look into real-world problems for airplane operators and passengers - from increasing safety and sustainability to improving the flying experience. The company is coming up with Boeing 777 that will serve as the 2019 flying test bed for 50 projects.
"This is the latest addition to our ecoDemonstrator programme, where we look at how crew and passengers can have a better experience and how technologies can make flying safer, more efficient and more enjoyable," said Mike Sinnett, Vice President of product strategy and future airplane development at Boeing Commercial Airplanes.
Technologies that are being tested on this year's ecoDemonstrator programme are:
Digital information will be shared between air traffic control, the flight deck and an airline's operations centre to improve routing efficiency and safety.
An electronic flight bag application that makes use of next-generation communications to automatically give rerouting data to pilots when weather conditions warrant.
Connected cabin technologies that would make lavatories and galleys smart, and check cabin conditions like temperature and humidity to enable automatic adjustments.
Cameras that would give passengers with more outside view.
