By Adam GavineAn Etihad Airways B787-10 Dreamliner has commenced flight testing for Boeing’s ecoDemonstrator programme. The fuselage and cabin have been fitted with equipment designed to drive innovations that will enhance safety and reduce CO2 emissions and noise.
Among the technologies on trial is a handheld ultraviolet light wand, which will be tested to determine its effectiveness in disinfecting flight decks and cabins, as part of Boeing’s Confident Travel Initiative to address Covid-19.
Ever since his first flight on a TriStar, Adam has loved air travel, and since becoming editor of the Aircraft Interiors International brand he has really enjoyed the opportunity to be involved with the latest aircraft and airline products before they are even launched. Adam co-ordinates the running of the magazine, from commissioning articles and artwork, to ensuring that high standards of quality are maintained, as well as managing online content. Adam is proud to sit on the jury of the Crystal Cabin Awards and to have laid on the bed in Etihad's Residence.
