NASA’s X-Planes Program Developing Green Aviation Technology
Geraldine
The New Aviation Horizons initiative, introduced in NASA’s 2017 budget, aims to accelerate the adoption of green technology in the aviation industry over the next 10 years by designing and flying the cutting-edge X-planes and “showcasing how airliners can burn half the fuel and generate 75 percent less pollution during each flight as compared to now, while also being much quieter than today’s jets.”
