Boeing 777X
Production Company: Boeing
Feature: Folding Wing
EST. Cost of Production: $442.2 Million*
Boeing has recently begun work on a new Dreamliner for its fleet, which will be larger and more luxurious than any of its previous aircraft. This multi-class, dual-aisle, wide-body aircraft can fly farther than both the 747 and the A380 while accommodating between 384 and 426 passengers, but just because there’s more space doesn’t imply there’s less room. Passengers will have additional storage capacity in the “super-sized” overhead compartments, as well as extra legroom in the larger cabin area. The 777X’s folding wing, which folds at a 90° angle to fit more readily into smaller loading docks, is the crowning achievement. Boeing’s newest Dreamliner is set to make its commercial debut in 2022.

The Bullet
Production Company: Otto Aviation
Feature: Aerodynamics
EST. Cost of Production: $5 Million*
The Celera 500L, often known as the “Bullet,” is a single V12 diesel engine aircraft with a streamlined design and gentle curves that maximize its aerodynamics, allowing it to burn less fuel and be more energy-efficient than its competitors. The “Bullet” seats six passengers and is nearly 6.5 times less expensive to operate per hour than other business planes of comparable size. Despite being designed to reach speeds of up to 460 mph, the “Bullet” has only reached speeds of around 251 mph. However, with more than three years until the Celera 500L is scheduled to go on sale, there’s still plenty of time to iron out the kinks and bring the “Bullet” up to speed.
