Automated Weather Rerouting

• Automated weather re-routing for flight path planning and execution via the airplane’s Electronic Flight Bag

• Integrates the airplane flight plan and NOAA weather for visual display and routing around inclement weather

Innovation and Sustainable Future • Improved fuel efficiency• Reduced emissions• Enhanced safety

2019 ecoDemonstrator 777-200

Trajectory Based Operations• Transatlantic Economic Flight that optimizes departure, en-route, and arrival with digital communication and navigation technology • Ground Station Communications that enable enhanced data connectivity from airline to air navigation service provider• Futures Air Navigation Services (FANS) and Airline Operation Center (AOC) messaging over Internet Protocol Suite (IPS) for large data

connectivity

Innovation and Sustainable Future• Reduced fuel consumption and

emissions during departure, en-route and arrival

• Reduced delay at airports

Runway Traffic Awareness

• Enabled by ADS-B technology, precise tracking using satellite signals rather than ground radar improves airport surface operations‒ SURF-A - aural alerts to the flight crew without a display‒ SURF-IA - display of surface aircraft traffic, indicates conflict with aural alert

• Real-time precision, shared situational awareness, advanced applications directly benefiting pilots, controllers, airports, airlines and the public

Innovation and Sustainable Future• Improves safety and efficiency in the air and on runways• Lessens ground station infrastructure• Less environmental impact

2019 ecoDemonstrator 777-200

Digital Airline Fleet Tracker

• Uses data analytics from real-time airplane information to optimize an airline’s fleet operation:

• Uses live sensor data and video image to improve efficiency and safety of airport movements

• Uses analytics that advise pilots on more efficient flight paths

• Post flight analytics to provide operational improvements

Innovation and Sustainable Future • Improved fuel efficiency• Reduced emissions of 2% - 8% during departures and arrivals
