Boeing will work with NASA to “build, test, and fly a full-scale demonstrator aircraft and validate technologies aimed at lowering emissions,” the agency said. Over seven years, NASA will invest $425 million, while Boeing and its partners will contribute the remainder of the agreement funding, estimated at about $725 million.
