This unpowered technology reacts to the outside temperature, deploying at lower altitudes and retracting in the cruise. The ecoDemonstrator will also test a new laser-based optical air data sensor system, providing more accurate readings to pilots. Cargo improvements The aircraft is also set to test advances in freight handling. A new greener non-Halon fire suppres- sant agent is being trialled. Additionally, the ecoDemonstrator will also trial a new ‘CoolCube’ container for perishable goods that could cut wastage by 10%. WAIR TRANSPORT Boeing targets green goals Boeing has revealed its latest ecoDemonstrator − a flying testbed to trial new sustainable technologies for civil aviation. The ecoDemonstrator programme has been running since 2012, with this year’s testbed based on a 777-200. Research partners on the 2019 ecoDemonstrator include Collins Aerospace, DLR, Fraport, NASA, Honeywell, Universal Avionics and Embraer, with the aircraft to trial a number of technologies based around themes such as the connected cabin, materials, aerodynamics and operational/flight deck efficiencies. Boeing 4 AEROSPACE Connected cabin The passenger cabin will see a number of greener and efficency technologies investigated. These include the Intelligent Cabin, Connected Flight deck efficiencies Business Seat and Galley, LED lighting and OLED displays, wireless cabin sensors and clean cabin The 2019 ecoDemonstrator is set to trial a fresh lavatory. These are designed to save weight, number of flight deck and avionics technologies improve the passenger experience and optimise based around operational and safety efficiencies. operations. For example, tracking of food and These include runway traffic awareness, drinks could speed up service time and eliminate automated weather re-routing via the EFB, wastage. digital airline fleet tracker and trajectory-based operations. Recyclable materials The ecoDemonstrator will also be trialling new eco-friendly materials − including new 100% recycled carpet tiles made at a carbon neutral factory. As well as being recycled, by fitting them as tiles they can be installed three times more quickly than traditional carpets and are more durable − lasting four times longer. Other recycled material on board includes a prototype recycled carbon fibre mat made from waste composite material from Boeing factories.

    * Paul Stephen Dempsey McGill University Institute of Air & Space Law Some slides from Singapore CAA, France BEA, US FAA, ICAO and various websites. *The Chicago Convention of 1944 created the International Civil Aviation Organization [ICAO] and gave it quasi-legislative authority to promulgate standards and recommended practices [SARPs] as Annexes to the Chicago Convention. These standards are binding upon member States that fail to notify ICAO of the differences in their domestic law. * * Article 12 of the Convention requires every contracting State to keep its regulations uniform, to the greatest extent possible, with those established under the Convention. * Article 37 attempts to achieve uniformity in air navigation, by requiring that every contracting State cooperate in achieving the “highest practicable degree of uniformity in regulations, standards, procedures, and organization in relation to aircraft personnel, airways and auxiliary services in all matters in which uniformity will facilitate and improve air navigation.” * The sentence that follows provides, “[T]o this end [ICAO] shall adopt and amend from time to time . international standards and recommended practices and procedures” addressing various aspects of air navigation. * Therefore, ICAO’s 191 member States have an affirmative obligation to conform their domestic laws, rules, and regulations to the international leveling standards adopted by ICAO. * * Annex 1 (Personnel Licensing), Annex 6 (Operation of Aircraft), and Annex 8 (Airworthiness of Aircraft) require ICAO’s member States to promulgate domestic laws and regulations to certify airmen, aircraft, and aircraft operators as airworthy and competent to carry out safe operations in international aviation. * Subject to the notification of differences under Article 38 of the Convention, the legal regime effectively assumes that States are in compliance with these safety mandates.
