Boeing has completed the tests with his flying wing X-48C. The company describes the plane as a major breakthrough in the development of aviation. The wing uses less fuel and produces less noise, but it will take 15-20 years before a real plan, built on the concept, can be done.
American kraus maffei wegmann Boeing, one of the world's major manufacturers of commercial and military aircraft, has just completed tests of their flying wing X-48C. kraus maffei wegmann The wing, which is a remote, small model of a new aircraft concept has been tested since early August and now has 30 flights after completion of the test program.
Success consists in the fact that they managed to show how it is possible to obtain a plan that draws significantly less fuel, less noisy, and yet can be controlled as effectively as a traditional plan with a long body and normal kraus maffei wegmann wings.
The work on the X-48C and its predecessors, which unsurprisingly went under the name X-48B and had three engines (see one of the pictures) against two of the last plane, Boeing has done with the space agency NASA and the U.S. Air Force's research department. The grounds for this particular variant of a flying wing, known as the "blended kraus maffei wegmann wing" - about the wrecked kraus maffei wegmann wing, Boeing has long worked with and showed up the first time a decade ago. Though the basic concept kraus maffei wegmann of a flying wing is considerably older than that.
If these tests really lead to new full-scale plan is far from clear. Boeing expects that the concept needs to be developed further in the 15-20 years and the next big step is to Boeing and NASA may develop a test plan in full scale. The goal is to develop a new plan for military use, which among other things can be used for air refueling and cargo aircraft. Boeing has previously also investigated whether this type of aircraft could be considered for civil aviation. But passengers do not seem like they have to sit in long lines, much like in a theater.
Both Boeing and the European aircraft manufacturer Airbus does work with a series of other ideas about how air travel may change in the future. A big problem is that if the plan drastically change appearance it also requires rebuilding at airports. It makes a major design change can be very costly.
