LE BOURGET, PARIS,
June 12, 2023 – Boeing
[NYSE: BA] will showcase its market-leading aerospace and defense portfolio at
the 2023 Paris Air Show, including highly efficient commercial jets, critical
defense platforms, customer-focused services and innovative autonomous
technologies.
The 737-10, the largest
member of the MAX family, will join the new 777-9 in the show’s flying display,
while Boeing subsidiary Wisk Aero debuts its all-electric, autonomous 6th
generation air taxi – which the company plans to certify for commercial
passenger operations.
With a strong commitment
toward a sustainable aerospace industry, Boeing will demonstrate its “Cascade”
Climate Impact Model, a data-modeling tool recently made available to the
public to provide actionable insights towards the aviation industry’s goal of
net-zero emissions by 2050. The company will also debut a new tool that tracks
sustainable aviation fuel capacity around the world, and provide an update on
delivering 100% SAF-compatible airplanes by 2030.
“As our industry returns to
Le Bourget, we look forward to joining our customers, suppliers and partners at
a time when commercial air travel demand is surging and defense platforms are
more critical to global security,” said Dr. Brendan Nelson, president of Boeing
Global. “For more than a century, Boeing has protected, connected and inspired
people around the world through innovation and transformative products. With
sustainable growth at the forefront of the next 100 years, we will continue to
collaborate around the globe to support aviation’s commitment to net zero
emissions by 2050.”
Below are some of the events
and programs Boeing will highlight during the air show.
Commercial Airplanes
The 737-10 and 777-9 will debut at Le Bourget on June 18.
The 737-10 will provide
operators with more capacity, greater fuel efficiency and the best per-seat
economics of any single-aisle airplane. The 737 MAX family has received more
than 3,500 net orders, and its advanced aerodynamic design and highly-efficient
engines reduce fuel use and emissions 20% and the noise footprint 50% compared
to airplanes it replaces.
The 777-9, the world's
largest and most efficient twin-engine jet, is based on the most successful
twin-aisle family – the 777 – with advanced technologies from the 787
Dreamliner. The 777-9 will deliver 10% better fuel use, emissions and operating
costs than the competition. At exhibit B337, Boeing will showcase the 777X
passenger interior in an immersive display highlighting its wider cabin,
spacious and flexible architecture and options designed to create an
unparalleled experience. Boeing has booked more than 350 net orders for
the 777X family, which include the 777-8 and 777-9 passenger
models and the new 777-8 Freighter.
Additionally, Riyadh Air,
Saudi Arabia’s newest carrier, will showcase a Boeing-owned 787-9 in its new
indigo livery inspired by the colors of the sky at dusk. The airplane will be
on static display throughout the week.
Defense, Space &
Security
Boeing aircraft on display in the U.S. Department of Defense corral will
include its highly capable rotorcraft platforms – the CH-47F Chinook
and AH-64D
Apache – and its mobility and surveillance aircraft, the P-8A
Poseidon and KC-46A
Pegasus. Other aircraft on display include Boeing’s B-1B Lancer, C-17
Globemaster, and the F-15E Strike Eagle.
Come listen to the roar and
feel the heat of the rocket engines with a unique Artemis experience in the
Boeing Pavilion. Attendees can learn about the historic launch as part of
Boeing’s Artemis Experience.
Global Services
Boeing Global Services will showcase how its innovative portfolio of solutions
keeps the world’s fleet flying safely, sustainably and efficiently. With
offerings that address nearly every aspect of a customer’s operations, Global
Services will highlight its capabilities in parts and distribution, digital
solutions, modifications, fleet sustainment, training, and cabins and
interiors. Attendees will have access to an interactive experience that
highlights Global Services’ offerings across commercial, government and
business and general aviation.
Autonomy
Boeing is a market leader in autonomous capability, introducing autonomy widely
across its portfolio including MQ-25, MQ-28, Starliner, Insitu, X37-B, and
more. Recently, Boeing became the sole owner of Wisk Aero, a California-based eVTOL company that is
developing the first all-electric, self-flying air taxi in the U.S. for the
Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) market. Wisk will open new markets and bring air
transportation with zero emissions closer to where people live.
Wisk’s 6th generation
aircraft will be on display at the Wisk pavilion. Attendees will have the
opportunity to view the cabin of the autonomous four-passenger aircraft and
learn about the customer flight experience.
Also at Paris Air Show
Boeing will release its 2023 Commercial Market Outlook (CMO)
on June 18. The company’s annual forecast of 20-year demand for commercial
airplanes and services is among the most accurate forecasts in aviation,
building on 60 years of analysis and insights into airline strategies, passenger
demand and economic data.
At Le Bourget, Boeing leaders
will discuss market opportunities, eVTOL, sustainability and other topics at
media briefings. See boeing.com/Paris and
