Boeing ecoDemonstrator testing technologies to improve cabin recyclability, operational efficiency

Boeing is testing three dozen technologies on its ecoDemonstrator program focused on strengthening operational efficiency and sustainability in cabin interiors, one of the most challenging parts of recycling an airplane. The company will begin testing this month using a 777-200ER (Extended Range). The Boeing ecoDemonstrator projects cover a wide variety of areas, including testing to enable single-engine taxi and digital taxi clearances to reduce fuel use and enhance safety by reducing pilot workload; working to reduce community noise, fuel use and emissions, using lighter, recyclable and more durable floor coverings and recycled carbon fiber ceiling panels; developing cabin insulation to better
