[There is no end to the creativity of our race. We just come up with one new idea after another. This guy does really good work. He delves deeply into excellent stuff that Whites are thinking up and trying. Jan]

NASA signed onto a Space Act Agreement with Boeing on a project to build a full size version of the Transonic Truss Braced Wing design with a goal of demonstrating significant improvements in efficiency that will directly translate to improved fuel consumption and lower costs.

This may be a blueprint for a future airliner, fuel cost is one of the major considerations to aircraft operators and technologies which provide even small improvements can pay off handsome rewards over the lifetime of the aircraft.

Or maybe the technology developed will end up being used in some completely different form….
