Boeing and Alaska Airlines are teaming up to test new technologies that aim to make the aviation industry more sustainable. A Boeing 737 Max 9 has been outfitted with experimental technology for engineers to test. The aviation industry is working towards a more sustainable future as airlines and aircraft manufacturers alike are being forced to examine and improve their environmental impact. Airlines are limited in how they can reduce their carbon footprint owing to a lack of availability of sustainable aviation fuels. But what airlines and aircraft manufacturers can control, to a degree, is the carbon footprint of their aircraft. Boeing's ecoDemonstrator program aims to test new technologies that can maximise aircraft efficiency. It's a win-win for airlines that get to reduce their emissions and costs while also helping Boeing make its aircraft more attractive to prospective buyers. The Boeing 737 Max is a prime example of how existing aircraft can be upgraded with new technology that both lowers emissions and reduces costs for airlines.
