Green to the Tune of $1.15-Billion
Culminating, perhaps, its hunt for a private sector partner willing to ante up monies and manpower to help design, build, test, and fly a large-scale, sustainable technology demonstrator aircraft, NASA announced on Wednesday, 18 January 2023 that it had issued an award to Boeing under the auspices of the agency’s Sustainable Flight Demonstrator project. Per the agreement, Boeing will team with NASA to develop an aircraft featuring technologies commensurate with the near-future manufacture and fielding of a sustainable airliner.
