Boeing, Comac Sign Pact To Expand Environmental Efforts
Sustainable Aviation Technology Center to pursue research in materials recycling, air travel for aging populations, workplace safety

Boeing and China’s Comac have agreed to expand their collaboration in the field of so-called sustainable growth of commercial aviation. The agreement, signed Tuesday during the Zhuhai Airshow, builds on an initial agreement signed in March 2012, under which they’ve engaged in research on improving fuel efficiency and reducing greenhouse gas emissions in areas such as biofuel research and air traffic management efficiency.  Under the new agreement, the companies will concentrate on six areas of research through the renamed Boeing-Comac Sustainable Aviation Technology Center.
