ecoDemonstrator program
charts flight path for innovation
Living in a materials world: After a decade of research, Boeing and the aerospace industry are on the threshold of large-scale composite recycling.
Difference makers: Nearly 3,000 Boeing employees around the world, along with friends and family members, pitched in to help their communities last month during Boeing's annual Global Day of Service.
Early bird: It typically takes three to five years to build and test a satellite.
Technology's bread and butter:
Whether it's a safer and more efficient
way to test fuel tanks or a device that
helps mechanics drill straight and true
each time, the replication of good ideas,
new technology and innovations across
the company's programs and worldwide
facilities, led by employees of Boeing
Research & Technology, bolsters safety,
productivity-and competitiveness.
Leading light:
The Airborne Laser Test Bed, a modified 747-400 carrying a huge
chemical laser designed to shoot down ballistic missiles, has been
retired.
Flying through change: Boeing's rotorcraft facilities near
Philadelphia are being transformed as
part of a massive construction project
that is renovating factory and office
space even as Chinook helicopter
production rates have increased.
Material advantage: Recycling composites offers many benefits
for Boeing, the environment-and the 787
Bright lights,
big safety: Boeing scientist has a laser-like focus on workplace safety
Higher learning:
Skylab expanded our knowledge
about Earth—and how we could
live and work in space
Tunnel vision:
Computer simulations are crucial in developing
the aerodynamics of Boeing aircraft, but at
some point it's time to turn on the wind!
Eye in the sky:
Phantom Eye, a feat of Boeing engineering and innovation that pushes
the envelope of unmanned aerial vehicles, flew for the first time last month
in the high desert of California—and Frontiers has exclusive photos.
Your move:
For Boeing employees around the world,
the six-week physical challenge known
as Boeing on the Move is an opportunity
to improve their health through exercise,
regardless of the activity.
