THE Commercial Aircraft Corp of China, also known as COMAC, yesterday signed its first collaboration agreement with Boeing to jointly set up a research center in Beijing to reduce aviation greenhouse-gas emissions.
The Boeing-COMAC Aviation Energy Conservation and Emissions Reductions Technology Center funded by both companies will support research projects to increase commercial aviation's fuel efficiency and reduce greenhouse-gas emissions, said Jim Albaugh, president and CEO of Boeing Commercial Airplanes.
Under the agreement, the companies will collaborate with China-based universities and research institutions to expand knowledge of technologies, including sustainable aviation biofuels, aviation connectivity infrastructure and other areas.
The center will be built at COMAC's Beijing Civil Aircraft Technology Research Center, but no construction timetable has been unveiled.
Marc Allen, president of Boeing China, said the innovative emission-reduction technologies developed through the new center will advance aviation in China and globally.
