American company Boeing will be responsible for the construction Sustained Flight Demonstratoraircraft developed jointly with the US space agency (POT) in the hope that its design and technology will serve as a model for the aviation of the future.

With Demonstrator, POT it hopes to cut fuel consumption and emissions from narrow-body aircraft (single pass) often used to cover national routes by 30%.

“Usually we think about POT like a space agency, an aeronautics agency, but NASA is also a climate agency.”assured this Wednesday the administrator of the agency, Bill Nelsonat a press conference.

A new vision for sustainable aviation

Nelson explained that the concept BoeingIt is expected to be able to take to the air in 2028. This is a full scale Transonic Braced Wing (TTBW) demonstrator aircraft with beams angled for truss attachment.

This statement Boeing explained that it will combine elements of existing vehicles with completely new components in the design of the aircraft.

“Ultra-thin, longer-span, higher-aspect strut wings could accommodate modern powerplants that are currently limited by the lack of underwing space in low-wing aircraft configurations.”the company explained.

For a more sustainable future

POT He also hopes the design will incorporate a range of technological advances that will reduce fuel consumption and make aviation more sustainable, serving as a model for commercial aviation.

To Nelsonproject “It will revolutionize the type of aircraft people use most when they fly.”and put United States of America move closer to achieving the government’s goal of zero emissions in the aviation industry by 2050.
