    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.
