Boeing is close to completing tests of a range of advanced technologies addressing fuel burn, noise and efficiency using its 737 EcoDemonstrator, the company’s first such dedicated flying testbed. The demonstrator is based on a 737-800 on loan from American Airlines, which partnered with Boeing on the effort along with the FAA. The agency provided $25 million in funding toward the EcoDemonstrator under its Cleen (continuous lower energy, emissions and noise) environmental program.
The U.S. Air Force has begun flight tests of the upgraded Rolls-Royce T56 on a C-130H, which could help extend the service life of the transport to 2040. Flight tests of the T56 Series 3.5 enhancement package are taking place at Edwards AFB, Calif., using an Air National Guard-operated Lockheed Martin C-130H. Testing aims to verify a predicted fuel burn improvement of around 8%, as well as assessing flying qualities and improved payload capability.
Pasadena, Calif. – Orbital Sciences Corp. expects to move the initial Antares rocket to the launch pad at Mid-Atlantic Regional Spaceport on Wallops Island, Va., later this month in preparation for hot fire tests.
