The Phantom 3500 is the latest transonic aircraft in development, offering an unconventional take on modern private air travel. It swaps traditional windows for ultra-realistic high-definition ...
The aircraft—being developed with a transonic truss-braced wing—is on “pause for later consideration” after Boeing proposed to focus on a ground-based testbed, which will instead ...
