Boeing 777-X9: Boeing's hotly anticipated 777X hit a production milestone late last year when its major fuselage sections -- the airplane's nose, mid and aft sections -- were brought together.

Boeing announces ‘transonic’ wing design for faster aircraft. The future of flying sure looks interesting for passengers, with Boeing unveiling a new design promising much faster planes.

According to Boeing, the TTBW was originally designed to operate in a range of Mach 0.70 to 0.75 (519 to 556 mph, 835 to 895 km/h), but the new truss, wing sweep, and integrated design allows for ...

NASA will invest $425 million to help Boeing develop a demonstrator aircraft for its Transonic Truss-Braced Wing design, which the space agency hopes will improve the fuel efficiency of commercial ...

This design, known as transonic truss-braced wing (TTBW), could in theory allow the plane to generate more lift, thus reducing the amount of fuel it needs for certain portions of the flight.

They call the design the transonic truss-braced wing, or TTBW. While a standard 737 boasts a wingspan of about 118 feet, the wings on this craft could stretch up to a whopping 170 feet long.

With a US$425-million cash injection from NASA, Boeing will build and test a full-sized airliner based on its transonic truss-braced wing (TTBW) concept, using long, thin, strut-braced wings to ...

Boeing is pumping the brakes on its experimental X-66 flight demonstrator.. The aircraft—being developed with a transonic truss-braced wing—is on “pause for later consideration” after ...

Boeing will work with NASA to build, test and fly a full-scale demonstrator aircraft based on Boeing’s Transonic Truss-Braced Wing (TTBW) design. First flight is scheduled for 2028, part of a ...
