Airbus' Radical New Passenger Jet
Blended Wing MAVERICK Source: Airbus Future of Flying & Cutting Fuel Consumption French airplane manufacturing giant Airbus just disclosed that it has developed and tested a radical new flying machine. It's a blended wing commercial passenger jet. The new aircraft has great promise. It cuts jet fuel consumption by 20%. And the radical, wide bodied, V-type design opens up tremendous opportunities to redesign the cabin area for passengers. In fact, it has the capacity to accommodate many more passengers than traditional passenger jets. Model Aircraft Demonstrated at the 2020 Singapore Air Show Airbus says this is radical new aircraft design. It says it's testing disruptive aircraft configurations like the MAVERICK to evaluate their potential use. They will continue testing their blended wing aircraft through 2025. They demonstrated how the concept aircraft works with a small, remote-controlled version at this week's Singapore 2020 Air Show. Next Prio
