Boeing is positioning growth and autonomy at the forefront of its showcase at the Singapore Airshow, emphasizing advances across commercial, defense and space programs.
The company confirmed an order from Ethiopian Airlines for nine 787 Dreamliners to meet rising long‑haul travel demand, underscoring continued market interest in long‑range, fuel‑efficient airframes.
On the space side, rollout of the Artemis II moon rocket has been completed and Boeing is preparing its Q4S satellite for a sequence of pre‑launch tests. Engineers will progress integrated systems, environmental and functional checks ahead of launch to validate on‑orbit performance forecasts.
Featured product lines span commercial jets (787 Dreamliner, 777X, 737 MAX), tanker and defense platforms (KC‑46 Pegasus, MQ‑28 Ghost Bat) and space assets (X‑37B, Q4S). Boeing also promotes its Global Services unit to support airline operations, sustainment and affordability.
The company reinforced commitments to safety, quality, sustainability and innovation while noting its global footprint across more than 150 countries and ongoing investments in people, testing and autonomous capabilities.
