    The aircraft is 35% more fuel efficient than any airliner currently flying. By sticking engines under the wings, it is easier to maintain them, or upgrade them halfway through an aircrafts 30 year life. By making the fuselage a tube, aircraft makers can easily build a family of larger or smaller variants, utilizing many of the same parts.

     Researchers of Cambridge University and the Massachusetts Institute of


    Technology
     Named SAX – 40, the aircraft has Tailless Wedge-Shaped body with two Bat-
    Wings -this known as a Blended Wing
     It is also 35% more fuel efficient than any airliner currently flying
     There are good economic reasons why design has remained so conservative
     By making the fuselage a tube, aircraft makers can easily build a family of larger
    or smaller variants, utilizing many of the same parts
     And by sticking engines under the wings, it is easier to maintain them, or upgrade
    them halfway through an aircrafts 30 year lifespan
