"We've chosen Farnborough as a venue for spotlighting the
breakthrough capabilities and innovations of both our commercial
airplanes and our defense, space and security businesses," said Tom
Downey, senior vice president, Boeing Communications. "We look
forward to an optimistic mood this year as industry leaders meet
amid signs of economic recovery."
The 787 flight-test airplane, ZA003, will touch down at
Farnborough the morning of Sunday, July 18 and will remain on
static display through mid-day July 20. The airplane will be open
for tours on a scheduled basis July 19 and 20. Boeing is using
ZA003 to test and certify seats, galleys and associated cabin
safety and comfort systems, among other test points.
Boeing's exhibit at the show will focus on unmanned systems,
including the international debut of the recently unveiled Phantom
Ray demonstrator, the A160 Hummingbird and the Unmanned Little
Bird. The Boeing Unmanned Systems Display will showcase more than a
dozen products, including the new Integrator and the ScanEagle
Compressed Carriage.
During the show's daily flying demonstration, Boeing will
demonstrate the capabilities of its advanced, combat-proven,
multi-role F/A-18E/F Super Hornet fighter. The company and its
customers will display several other systems, including the air
show debut of the 737-based Peace Eagle airborne early warning and
control platform for the Turkish Air Force. Visitors also will see
the C-17 Globemaster III military transport; the F-15E Eagle
fighter jet; and the AH-64D Apache Longbow attack helicopter. In
addition, Qatar Airways will display its newest Boeing 777-300ER
July 19-22.
