Boeing and Embraer signed a new partnership centering on the use of an Embraer E170 regional jet as a so-called ecoDemonstrator, the companies announced on Thursday. Serving as a flying testbed for advanced environmental technologies, the E170 will undergo operational testing in Brazil in August and September. The jet serves as the fourth such platform in Boeing’s long-running ecoDemonstrator program, the last of which—a Thomson Airways Boeing 757—finished testing last year.
