 MOSCOW:
Boeing [NYSE:BA] will display a Boeing
Business Jet (BBJ) and a large scale model of its
newly conceived airplane, the Boeing 7E7, at the
2003 MAKS International Aviation & Space Salon
(Moscow Air Show) in Zhukovsky near here next week.
The BBJ will be on display at the show's airfield
during the first two days of the show, Aug. 19 and
20. The Boeing 7E7 model, which drew crowds at the
Paris Air Show in June, will be in the Boeing
exhibit in Pavilion B during the entire show, which
runs from Aug. 19 through 24. Designed for
corporations, governments and VIP customers, the
BBJ is a high-performance derivative of the Boeing
Next-Generation 737-700 jetliner that can fly more
than 11,110 kilometers (6,000 nautical
miles).
The Boeing 7E7 is a
super-efficient airplane jetliner on which the
company has focused its new commercial airplane
product development efforts. The 7E7 will carry
200-250 passengers on routes up to 14,814
kilometers (8,000 nautical miles).
The Boeing Moscow Air Show
exhibit will showcase several products and services
from the Boeing Commercial Airplanes and Integrated
Defense Systems business units, including models of
the International Space Station, Sea Launch rocket
and other commercial jetline
