The 747 Wing House is a unique residential structure designed from the wings of a decommissioned Boeing 747-100 airplane. Located in the Ventura County portion of the Santa Monica Mountains, northwest of the city of Malibu, California, the house has been widely publicized internationally because of its unique design, its sustainable use of recycled materials, the dramatic transportation of the ...
The Boeing X-48 is an American experimental unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) built to investigate the characteristics of blended wing body (BWB) aircraft. Boeing designed the X-48 and two examples were built by Cranfield Aerospace in the UK. Boeing began flight testing the X-48B version for NASA in 2007. The X-48B was later modified into the X-48C ...
A blended-wing plane would have a much wider cabin than a traditional tube-and-wing design, meaning the rows could be more than a dozen people long.
Natilus' design for a "blended-wing" concept combines the wing and fuselage to increase efficiency. Imagine a B-21 bomber with passenger windows.
Modern airliners like the Boeing 787 and the Airbus A350 have the same general shape as the Boeing 707 and the Douglas DC-8, which were built in the late 1950s and solidified the “tube and wing ...
Armstrong Whitworth A.W.52 1947 – Jet powered flying wing; Avro 707 1949 – Aerodynamic proof of concept for Avro Vulcan delta wing bomber; Avro Ashton – Jet engine research vehicle based on Avro Tudor; BAC 221 – High speed delta wing research; Baynes Bat – Experimental tailless glider; Blackburn B-20 – Retractable hull seaplane
Illustration of the Boeing SUGAR Volt concept aircraft. SUGAR Volt is the hybrid aircraft concept proposed by a team led by Boeing's Research & Technology division. It is one of a series of concepts put forward in response to a request for proposals for future aircraft issued by NASA.
The Boeing X-66 is an experimental airliner under development by Boeing. It is part of the X-plane series, and is being developed in collaboration with NASA and its Sustainable Flight Demonstrator program. It will use an extra-long and thin wing design stabilized by diagonal bracing struts, which is known as a Transonic Truss-Braced Wing.
