The eco-demonstrator programme, now in its fifth iteration, serves as a series of flying testbeds designed to improve the environmental performance and safety of future aeroplanes.
"The ecoDemonstrator programme is focused on harvesting exciting new technologies that will benefit our airline customers, the flying public, and the environment," said Mike Sinnett, vice president of Boeing Commercial Aeroplanes product development.
This round of testing includes installing a compact thrust reverser developed by Boeing designed to save fuel, flight deck improvements that can improve efficient operations in and out of busy airports, and flying prototype aeroplane parts using cutting-edge manufacturing techniques that reduce material waste.
Flight testing is scheduled to last approximately three months before the aeroplane returns to the Fedex fleet.
