Boeing Forecasts Demand For 41,000 New Aircrafts By 2041

As demand for air travel rebounds, and with strong recovery ongoing in many domestic markets, Boeing has projected demand for more than 41,000 new airplanes through 2041. Boeing released its 2022 Commercial Market Outlook (CMO), in advance of Farnborough. The CMO forecasts a market value of $7.2 trillion for new aircraft deliveries, with the global fleet increasing by 80% through 2041 compared to 2019. About half of the passenger jet deliveries in the period will replace today’s models, improving the global fleet’s fuel efficiency.

Collins Seeks To Mitigate Jet Lag Through Hypergamut Lighting

Collins Aerospace is working to revolutionize the onboard lighting experience through its new Hypergamut Lighting System, which it unveiled last month at the Aircraft Interiors Expo in Hamburg. Collins claims that this technology is attuned to human biology, utilizing an improved lighting environment to regulate the body’s release of melatonin and reduce jet lag. Hypergamut simulates natural light in the cabin, which creates a warmer and less tiring environment, while also managing the light that is diffused in the cabin. The full cabin lighting system can be pre-set to either encourage or hinder the production of melatonin.
