SE Aeronautics designs six-wing low-carbon plane of the future
Aug 12, 2021
US-based start-up SE Aeronautics has unveiled the design for its futuristic six-wing SE200 aircraft, which it claims could revolutionise commerical aviation with its low-carbon footprint technology. Jenny Southan reports
SE Aeronautics says that the “super-efficient” subsonic SE200 jet would be able to transport 264 passengers at a speed of Mach 0.9 (just under the speed of sound at Mach 1) with a range of 10,560 miles (the approximate distance of London to Sydney).
The wide-body SE200 would be a 100 per cent molded all-composite plane, with its most standout feature being six wings, three on each side of its fuselage in a “tri-wing” configuration. But what is most significant is its claim that it could fly with a far lower carbon footprint than similar traditional planes.
