So NASA is at the cutting edge of technology when it comes to flight
NASA has selected Boeing as our partner in designing building and flying a brand new
large-scale experimental airplane called the sustainable flight demonstrator
but I have to tell you as a pilot and a test pilot I am very excited by today's announcement
Our partnership with the Boeing Company is not only transformative but it's a smart investment in
a critical asset the air transportation system that moves millions of people and
tons of cargo every year
Through NASA's agreement with Boeing and with the support of our industry
partners we'll be leading the development and flight testing of a full-scale SFD demonstrator airplane
We're going to reduce as much as 30 percent the fuel consumption
Congratulations to the team at NASA congratulations to Boeing on this very exciting new project
