Passenger cabin, cargo hold and fuel tanks to be integrated in the design which uses 20 per cent less fuel
Amazingly realistic artist concept pictures. I remember a lot of discussion about v-shaped aircraft back when I was a kid in the 40s and 50s. I even saw some of them flying over Los Angeles. But, it’s only been in recent years with far more advanced controls that they’ve become more realistic.
How long until this or similar ones roll out to actually fly?
