Boeing's ecoDemonstrator 777-200 visits Atlantic City

摘要

When, Boeing's brightly liveried, exper imental-category 777-200 landed at Atlantic City International Airport in New Jersey during a recent demonstration tour, it wasn't an ordinary flight. Not only did Boeing's ecoDemonstrator fly in from Frankfurt, Germany, the first time an aircraft from the program had ever visited outside the U.S., but the approach to KACY itself was experimental. Flown using controller pilot datalink communi cations (CPDLC), it also included a steep 3.77-degree glideslope on the approach.
