Boeing to debut 777X, Loyal Wingman UAV at Dubai Airshow

Boeing’s newest fuel-efficient widebody jet, the 777X, will make its international debut at Dubai Airshow 2021 along with the Loyal Wingman (Airpower Teaming System) unmanned aerial vehicle.

During the event, a Boeing 777-9 flight-test airplane will soar in the airshow’s flying program and appear in the static display. The company claims that the 777-9 will be the world’s largest and most efficient twin-engine jet, delivering 10% better fuel use, emissions and operating costs than the competition.

The company’s static display will also feature the 2021 Boeing ecoDemonstrator, an Alaska Airlines 737-9 that is flight testing about 20 technologies to reduce fuel use, emissions and noise and further improve safety.
