Boeing is bringing a focus on sustainability as it highlights a suite of capabilities across its business units during the 2024 edition of the Singapore Airshow.
For the Arlington, Virginia-based OEM, the show underscores how Southeast Asia’s fast-growing economies continue to invest in new aerospace products and services for the future, according to Boeing Global president Brendan Nelson. “Boeing provides our commercial and government customers across the region with capabilities they need while we continue to expand our regional presence and open new opportunities for partners and suppliers,” he explained.
Exhibits include an immersive display of the 777X cabin, an F-15EX simulator providing a glimpse of the multirole fighter’s design and cockpit, as well as the F-15, P-8A Poseidon, AH-64E Apache, Ch-47F Chinook, and a C-17 Globemaster III. Boeing's B-52 Stratofortress bomber participates in the flying display.
Activities surrounding Boeing's sustainability initiatives hold the key to the company's presence this year. To that end, Boeing’s subsidiary in the advanced air mobility sector, Wisk, is on hand to discuss its all-electric, autonomous four-seat air taxi.
Meanwhile, Boeing is demonstrating its Cascade Climate Impact Model, a data modeling tool that shows how different strategies can reduce emissions and help the aviation industry decarbonize by 2050. The team is further discussing its work to help foster sustainable aviation fuel production.
On the workforce front, Boeing participates in the air show’s AeroCampus to draw in the next generation of aerospace engineers and leaders. But it also will feature companies in which it has invested to help support aerospace innovation.
