is considering using it as an energy
carrier on board an aircraft. Boeing has
innovated with hydrogen and fuel cell
applications onboard aircraft for over
15 years. We have developed insights
through five flight demonstration
programs with crewed and uncrewed
aircraft using hydrogen fuel cells and
combustion engines.
We also have substantial experience
with hydrogen and especially cryogenic
storage systems from our space and
launch business. We recently conducted
testing with NASA on a new type
of large, fully composite, linerless
cryogenic fuel tank, designed and
manufactured by Boeing. It passed a
series of tests at Marshall Space Flight
Center at the end of 2021, proving it
is mature, safe and ready for use in
aerospace vehicles.
While this particular composite
cryotank was designed for space, it has
the capacity to hold 16,000 gallons of
liquid hydrogen, the energy equivalent of
about 3,700 gallons of Jet A fuel, which
is typical of a regional jet sized airplane.
We're using lessons learned from our
previous hydrogen demonstration flight
test programs, along with this highly
credible and large scale cryotank test, to
inform the future of flight in space and
in the air.
Our work in electric aviation is
equally exciting. Boeing and Wisk
are developing a two-passenger
eVTOL air taxi that has flown more
than 1,500 successful test flights
since 2017. Boeing recently invested
$450M in addition to previous funding,
establishing Wisk as one of the most
well-funded Advanced Air Mobility
companies in the world. Wisk's
sixth-generation eVTOL aircraft will
represent a first-ever candidate for the
certification of autonomous, all-electric,
passenger-carrying aircraft in the U.S.
To accelerate innovation and
airplane efficiency, our ecoDemonstrator
program uses partnerships to take
promising features and services
out of the lab and tests them in the
air. Now in its 10th year, the Boeing
ecoDemonstrator program has tested
over 200 projects on eight airplanes,
such as the advanced technology
winglets on the 737 MAX that save fuel,
a laser system that can detect clear air
turbulence and landing gear designed to
lessen noise.
This body of work attests to the
importance of industry partnerships
to enhance safety, improve efficiency
and minimize commercial aviation's
environmental footprint. Sustainable
Aerospace Together.
