Boeing’s SUGAR Volt Hybrid Plane Has Foldable Wings for a Greater Lift

When NASA asked Boeing to predict what they believe would be the future of airplane design, they had one simple answer: electric. Called the Subsonic Ultra Green Aircraft Research (SUGAR) Volt flight, this commercial plane will combine electric power with traditional fuel, enabling low-emission flights across the globe. Coupled with a broader wing span, the SUGAR re-imagines the standard plane as a lightweight, energy-efficient model for future commercial flying....<br><br><a href='https://inhabitat.com/boeings-sugar-volt-hybrid-plane-has-foldable-wings-for-a-greater-lift/'>READ ARTICLE</a>
