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%.

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

All-new, advanced engines
Exclusive GE technologies bring better fuel consumption, lower noise, and lower emissions than any competing engine.
