Box Wing Jet
Production Company: NASA, private industries
Feature: Eco-Friendly
EST. Cost of Production: 12% cost reduction compared to regular aircraft
The box wing jet isn’t so much a future aircraft as it is a future aircraft configuration. When compared to conventional aircraft, the box wing configuration will reduce fuel consumption. It will also meet the requirement of reducing CO2 emissions by 75%. The box wing will also have a 90% reduction in NOx emissions. The first box wing jet, according to researchers, should take to the sky by 2035. NASA is participating in the development, and the space exploration agency is urging commercial firms to participate in these environmentally beneficial arrangements. Without a doubt, the company that manufactures one of these box wing jets first will receive a lucrative federal contract.

Green Supersonic
Production Company: Lockheed Martin
Feature: No Sonic Booms
EST. Cost of Production: $200 million per unit*
This supersonic green machine not only looks fantastic, but it also has capabilities well beyond those of standard planes. Lockheed Martin presented the future aircraft design, and the Green Supersonic is currently in the earliest, simulative stages. The simulation shows that the Green Supersonic can fly inland while emitting less sonic booms. This is accomplished by installing an inverted-V engine beneath the wing. According to the concept and designs, range, payload, and environmental goals are all within reach. The ideas were initially presented to NASA in 2010, and experts anticipate that the first Green Supersonic will be in production by 2035.
