The BR&T-Alabama Chemical Thermal Lab features the Atmospheric Plasma Deposition research and development system. This center is now one of 11 Boeing research centers. They are in Australia, Brazil, China, Europe, Russia and the U.S. (including Alabama, California, Missouri, South Carolina and Washington).
Boeing opened an 80,000-sq.-ft. facility in Alabama that will be used to create and develop analytics and simulation technologies. Here a few of the labs featured at the new research center.
