Boeing Begins Flight Testing Etihad’s 787 ecoDemonstrator

Boeing has begun flight testing of its latest ecoDemonstrator, a Boeing 787-10 destined to be delivered to Etihad Airways. The aircraft is equipped with heaps of sensors that will allow it to test various methods of making aviation more sustainable and less noisy in the future. The Boeing ecoDemonstrator program is nothing new. In fact, since 2012, several aircraft have been part of the program, starting with an American Airlines Boeing 737-800. Since then, the program has moved on to include widebody aircraft such as the Boeing 777. Now, the Boeing 787-10 is joining the program ahead of its delivery to Etihad Airways next month.
