"Aircraft manufacturers are racing to build the jet of the future as airlines demand more efficient planes. Among the most likely concepts is a 'blended-wing' body aircraft, which combines the fuselage and wing into one."
"The all-in-one wing can reduce drag by up to 30%, helping reduce the amount of fuel needed, according to the US Air Force, which plans to use the design in a prototype."
"Airbus could maintain its market lead with its 200-passenger 'ZEROe' blended-wing concept. The company has decades of experience designing commercial airplanes - leading the industry with its best-selling Airbus A320 family of similar capacity."
"Natilus and JetZero are starting from scratch and targeting different markets, but they have the same overarching goal: puncture the Airbus-Boeing duopoly."
