Future sustainable airspace
Operational efficiency is one of the four pillars of Boeing’s sustainability strategy. Our teams are developing decision-support software prototypes that will enable superior operations planning, execution, analysis and recovery, leading to unparalleled fuel burn savings and resilience to disruptions.
The team helps airlines to better plan, execute and analyze their operations to reduce costs, and mitigate potential disruptions, and above all to build long term strategies in sustainability.
Advanced Air Mobility
Future eVTOL aircraft will require advanced and sophisticated capabilities to enable advanced air mobility AAM operations and broader U-space operations.
Boeing’s talented teams across Europe apply their competence in UAM environments simulation to test and validate future unmanned operational concepts, services and technologies. We support Europe’s broad U-space ambitions and work closely with:
Wisk, a Boeing subsidiary working on developing, certifying and operating a full-electric self-flying passenger aircraft for urban, sub-urban and rural environments.
SkyGrid, a Boeing partner, working towards solving the industry’s biggest challenges by integrating unmanned aircraft in the global airspace at scale.
SESAR 3 Joint Undertaking
At Boeing, we are proud to be a founding member of the European union Single European Sky ATM Research (SESAR) 3 Joint Undertaking - an institutionalized European public-private partnership where we join forces with the EU, EUROCONTROL and over 50 organizations covering the entire aviation value chain to apply our knowhow, experience and innovative thinking to deliver the Digital European Sky.
We contribute to eight SESAR 3 JU Projects. Learn more about them here.
