NASA Langley Research Center has developed a novel aircraft design that can carry 150+ passengers over a range of 3,500 nautical miles. Key features include a turboelectric propulsion system, twin underwing turbofans, and a rear-fuselage, electrically driven, boundary layer ingesting fan. The design is developed for single-aisle-class aircraft (the largest commercial transport class in the world) to significantly reduce fuel burn compared to current aircraft.
