    A model of the Transonic Truss-Braced Wing aircraft in a wind tunnel at NASA's Ames Research Center. By early 2019, following extensive wind tunnel testing at NASA Ames Research Center, an optimized truss and more sweep for the 170 ft (52 m) span wing allowed flying higher and faster, up from Mach 0.70–0.75 to Mach 0.80 like current jetliners.

  4. Aircraft fuel system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aircraft_fuel_system

    An aircraft fuel system allows the crew to pump, manage, and deliver aviation fuel to the propulsion system and auxiliary power unit (APU) of an aircraft. Fuel systems differ greatly due to different performance of the aircraft in which they are installed. A single-engine piston aircraft has a simple fuel system; a tanker (such as the KC-135 ...

    Fuel tanks were in the upper wing and were gravity-fed. [14] The throttles for the engine included a mechanism which used the first movement from idle to turn on the fuel pump. [15] The fully enclosed crew compartment was located at the nose of the aircraft. [16] [13] There were two passenger cabins, one forward of the wings and the other aft.

  8. Bracing (aeronautics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bracing_(aeronautics)

    In aeronautics, bracing comprises additional structural members which stiffen the functional airframe to give it rigidity and strength under load. Bracing may be applied both internally and externally, and may take the form of struts, which act in compression or tension as the need arises, and/or wires, which act only in tension.
