New Plane from MIT looks really cool

A team from MIT has unjust unveiled a new design for aircraft that has increased fuel efficiency, lower emissions, and the ability to take off on shorter runways. NASA commissioned this MIT team and others to design the aircraft with the intent of implementing the changes. Now, we won’t see these planes for quite a few years, but the designs and their proposed benefit makes this an exciting opportunity for air travel. With the innovation of jet engines, I can’t really think of anything that has really improved air travel for either passenger or environment. The planes have gotten bigger, the tickets have gotten more expensive and baggage has become a real sticking point for a lot travelers and the airlines. I just hope there are going to be enough people who still wish to fly when these planes come into existence. Read more about this at inhabitat.com.
