It will be the fourth EcoDemonstartor program after the first EcoDemonstrator 737(2012), then EcoDemonstrator 787(2014), and the third EcoDemonstrator E170(2016). Thank to this programs the American leading company tested more than 60 aircraft technologies.
In 2018, the EcoDemonstrator 2018 is a partnership between Boeing and Fedex to test technologies on a Cargo 777 with more than 30 new technologies inside including then the electronic chain from Safran Electrical & Power.
This electric chain includes a comprehensive electrical channel, encompassing electric power generation and distribution systems, engine and aircraft wiring, and specific electrical loads (electric fans)
"We are providing the Boeing ecoDemonstrator with a state-of-the-art electric power source and a complete electrical channel. It is a prime example of our capabilities to design tomorrow's optimized electrical systems and we are very proud to contribute to Boeing's environmental efforts. Our contributions also highlight the benefits of a comprehensive electrical system supplier supporting an aircraft manufacturer in the optimization of its aircraft electrical systems," said Alain Sauret, President, Safran Electrical & Power.
