What are Boeing looking for / researching with the Ecodemonstrator
What about it?
So today I excitedly spotted the Boeing 777-200ER ecodemonstrator and was wondering what the purpose of a 5hr flight over Europe is? Surely they can do all the tests etc in the US without the need to base this aircraft in the UK for a bit etc.
I assume as this is a 20yr old airframe it has the new eco items on it rather than just flying a 20yr old airframe about.
If anyone knows would be really interesting!
