Delta showed the world a new type of aircraft travelers can look forward to boarding for the most horrifying experiences of their lives.
From The New York Post:
The airliner is partnering with JetZero, a California-based startup, to bring the innovative and sustainable blended-wing-body aircraft to life as part of the global carrier's push to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050, Delta Air Lines announced Wednesday.
Here she is:
I'm not sure if this qualifies as a Bee prophecy fulfilled. We'll have to wait to see!
The lightweight airframe — which differs from the traditional tube-and-wing shape — is expected to carry more than 250 travelers and will provide a much quieter journey with the engines mounted on the roof of the plane.
Yes, the new, state-of-the-art potential deathtrap is certainly a sight to behold.
Plus, travelers will be relieved to know that, rather than prioritizing keeping passengers alive, Delta's Chief Sustainability Officer (yes, that's her actual title) Amelia DeLuca said the focus is squarely on making the futuristic aircraft as environmentally friendly as possible.
'While Delta is focused on doing what we can today to address our carbon footprint, it's critical we also work with a variety of partners to advance revolutionary technologies, like JetZero's blended-wing-body aircraft, to solve for a significant portion of future aviation emissions.'
Airline officials said its goal is for the sleek aircraft to run on sustainable aviation fuel.
JetZero cofounder and CEO Tom O'Leary said his company is working to 'change the world' by introducing a first-of-its-kind aircraft that will reduce airline energy costs and associated emissions.
Sounds great.
