Boeing and NASA, the US space agency, are collaborating to create a carbon-emission-reduced commercial airplane of the future.
The “Sustainable Flight Demonstrator” (SFD) project will receive $425 million from NASA over seven years, while an estimated $725 million spent by Boeing and its partners.
According to NASA administrator Bill Nelson, the objective is to create commercial airplanes that are “more fuel efficient, with advantages to the environment, the commercial aviation sector, and to passengers globally.”
In a statement on Wednesday, Nelson added, “If we are successful, we may see these technologies in planes that the public takes to the skies in the 2030s.”
