What do Boeing's bio-fuel hydroplane "U787" and a Tesla sports car have in common? Just like the 787 Dreamliner, they are lightweight, fuel-efficient, made of advanced composite materials and very, very fast! Visitors to the Future of Flight were able to see Boeing's bio-fuel hydroplane and meet driver, Chip Hanauer. Those who made a $100 donation to the Foundation test-drove the startlingly quick Tesla roadster. Also featured were students from Marysville Arts and Technical High School displaying their "what to do when the oil runs out" projects. The hydroplane and Tesla cars were at the Future of Flight (FOF) through April 25th.
Foundation donors and partners receive exclusive invitations to our one-of-a-kind events. This year, our private 747-8 First Flight celebration included donors of $125 or more, and also our business Partners in Innovation participants. Donors received a reserved spot on our Strato Deck for both takeoff and landing, a VIP parking pass, and refreshments.
If you are a business, consider joining our Partners in Innovation program. This program gives you the perfect opportunity to treat your clients, employees, family, and friends to incredible events hosted by the Future of Flight Foundation, while supporting the Foundation. Spaces for these events are available based on donation level.
