Some Thoughts on the Design of Subsonic Transport Aircraft for the 21st Century 901987
In response to the NASA query, “Is there an aerodynamic renaissance for the long-haul transport?” a study was performed using both evolutionary and revolutionary airplane design concepts. The airplanes that resulted from both concepts offered performance improvements over existing transport airplanes which support a definite “yes” to the NASA question.
