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.

The wings of SUGAR Volt would enable it to take off in a shorter distance and generate less noise. The outer wings of the SUGAR Volt should fold to save ground space, increasing weight. Transonic truss-braced wing
It’s called the Transonic Truss-Braced Wing concept, which relies on elongated, thin wings stabilized by diagonal struts that connect the wings to the aircraft. The design’s shape creates less ...
The ecoDemonstrator Program is a Boeing flight test research program, which has used a series of specially modified aircraft to develop and test aviation technologies designed to improve fuel economy and reduce the noise and ecological footprint of airliners.
Boeing 737, NASA 515. Fixed Wing Research, Terminal Area Productivity (TAP) Retired (1) 1974-2003 Langley Research Center: Museum of Flight: NASA 515 is the first Boeing 737 ever built. After being used to qualify the 737 design, NASA heavily modified the aircraft for continuing research. Boeing 747-100SR. Fixed Wing Shuttle Carrier Aircraft ...
The NASA X-57 Maxwell was an experimental aircraft developed by NASA, intended to demonstrate technology to reduce fuel use, emissions, and noise. [2] The first flight of the X-57 was scheduled to take place in 2023, but the program was cancelled due to problems with the propulsion system.
