But it could be carbon-free if the concept incorporates hydrogen fuel cells, which is part of the long-term plan. The Flying V is an experimental aircraft that promises 20-percent greater fuel efficiency over more conventional commercial jetliners like the Airbus 350. The first test flight is scheduled for 2028. NASA says the design creates less drag which, along with expected advancements in propulsion systems and materials, could potentially reduce fuel consumption and emissions by up to 30 percent compared with today’s most efficient single-aisle aircraft. The aircraft will have an engine under each wing-and a T-shaped tail in the rear. ![]() Its unconventional design stores the liquid hydrogen tanks beneath the wings, while two hybrid-hydrogen turbofan engines provide thrust.īoeing is working with NASA to create a Sustainable Flight Demonstrator, with long, skinny wings that extend from the top, rather than the bottom, of the plane’s fuselage. The blended-wing-body aircraft features wings that merge with the main body of the plane to create an exceptionally wide fuselage. ![]() The company’s blended-wing Maveric concept envisions seating up to 200 people using a hydrogen-powered aircraft that could fly an estimated 2,500 nautical miles. Airbus is on a mission to develop the world’s first hydrogen-powered commercial aircraft by 2035. ![]()
