In late April, Boeing unveiled the 737 Boeing Sky Interior,
a new passenger cabin for the Next-Generation 737 based on
the 787 Dreamliner. The company also unveiled a suite of performance
improvements that will further enhance the 737's operating
costs, fuel consumption and environmental performance.
Automation that supports the operation of Boeing widebody
paint hangars in Everett, Wash., uses computer graphics to
present a clear view of the buildings' complex systems. These
include a new collision avoidance system, which has been highly
effective at preventing painting platforms from coming in contact
with airplanes.
