Noiseless and tailless bat-looking passenger liner designed

It is obvious that taking one’s breath away was not the principal goal of the researchers and designers involved in the concept aircraft project. “The shape of the aircraft is a remarkable achievement in terms of aerodynamics. The two most important purposes of shaping the plane like this definitely have to do with significant fuel savings while cruising, and a smooth and safe landing,” said Belokon.

The designers of the new aircraft stress the point that the first passengers will be able to come aboard the SAX-40 in the year 2030 at best provided that the design is approved by manufacturers. It takes lots of funds and risks to get serial production of a new plane off the ground. Besides, new industrial facilities will have to be built for the purpose.
