Fleet Renewal

New airplanes provide significant efficiency gains.

Our new commercial models are designed for double-digit improvements in CO2 emissions, fuel efficiencies and noise footprint. Deploying the latest generation of airplanes is one of the most significant contributions to carbon emissions reductions available over the next decade.

Enabling technologies

Boeing has invested more than $60 billion over the last 10 years to improve the sustainable product lifecycle, including innovative technologies such as the digital thread; carbon composite materials and advanced high-bypass-ratio engine designs; and other aerodynamic improvements such as natural laminar flow that reduces drag to improve environmental efficiency. Boeing will continue to invest in efficiencies that reduce fuel use and carbon emissions.

Advanced Technology Winglet

Specifically designed for the 737 MAX and tested on our first ecoDemonstrator program, advanced technology winglets reduce fuel use by approximately 2%.

737 MAX wing

Carbon fiber composite structure

Lighter, simpler structure that increases airplane efficiency and reduces fuel consumption.

787 Plane flying

All-new, advanced engines

Exclusive GE technologies bring better fuel consumption, lower noise, and lower emissions than any competing engine.
