KLM and Delft University to Create New Flying V Airplane with Passengers in Wings
This two-pronged innovative flight concept coined the ‘flying-V’ embraces an entirely different approach to aircraft design, and anticipates a future for sustainable long-distance flight. dutch airliner
KLM will be contributing towards the research of the aerospace engineering team at delft university of technology (
TU delft) to make this highly energy-efficient long-distance airplane a reality. its aerodynamic shape and reduced weight will allow it to use 20% less fuel than today’s most advanced aircraft — the airbus A350. furthermore, the spectacular, V-shaped design — which takes its name from the
gibson guitar model — will accommodate the passenger cabin, the cargo hold and the fuel tanks within its wings.
