DALLAS — Boeing has announced a "tailored presence" at the 2024 Farnborough International Airshow (FIA2024) as the manufacturer looks to prioritize safety, quality, and achieving client obligations, while also emphasizing next-generation technologies and capabilities.

Every two years, the aerospace, aviation, and defence industries gather at Farnborough International Exhibition & Conference Centre for the world's premier airshow—"The Apex of Aviation."

Dr. Brendan Nelson AO, president of Boeing Global, states, "We are concentrated on implementing our comprehensive safety and quality plan and meeting our customer commitments. With these priorities in mind, we have reduced our commercial airplanes display and flight demonstrations at the show, and will focus on new technology, sustainability, security and services solutions."

"The best way to build trust is through high-quality performance in our factories, one airplane at a time."

The Boeing Experience

To keep naysayers at bay, airshow visitors to Boeing's pavilion will encounter "immersive and fully interactive product and technology demonstrations" across Boeing's portfolio, including:

• Sustainability technologies, including the X-66 Sustainable Flight Demonstrator, Boeing ecoDemonstrator and Cascade data-visualization tool to inform decarbonization strategies
• Cabin products and demonstrations of Boeing's joint all-domain command and control and environmental modeling capabilities
• Boeing's portfolio of freighter programs
• A full-size 777X interior section highlighting the airplane's wider cabin, larger windows and spacious architecture. The 777X family has more than 480 orders from leading customers around the globe

Aircraft Displays

On the commercial side, Boeing will have a Qatar Airways (QR) 787-9 Dreamliner on static display. Additionally, Wisk Aero, a wholly owned Boeing company, will demonstrate its Generation 6 aircraft, the world's first all-electric, self-driving eVTOL air taxi.

According to Boeing, once licensed and in service, the four-seater eVTOL aircraft promises to provide everyone with safe everyday flights.
