A Jetliner For A Fuel-Starved Future


  • An MIT team has turned a multi-million-dollar NASA contract into the most advanced rethinking to date of the classic passenger jet. 
  • The design, nicknamed the Double Bubble, calls for an extra-wide fuselage and rear-mounted turbofan engines. 
  • The configuration would allow the craft to burn 70 percent less fuel than a Boeing 737 while producing significantly less noise and nitrogen oxide, a pollutant that causes acid rain.
