V-shaped planes are much more fuel-efficient, but fear that no one dares to try for this reason

Across the Internet, news sites feature images of completely new aircraft design: there is a V-shaped, also called the Flying V-Flying-V!

Because of its bizarre appearance, the function of most compartments is different from that of regular civil aircraft. The cockpit cannot be changed, and the passenger compartment is spread along the plane's wings, making the Flying-V much thicker. Goods and fuel are also included in the wing.

Flying-V can carry 314 passengers, equivalent to the Airbus A350. In addition to its unique shape, its fuel economy also draws attention.

Strange aircraft design from TU Delft University, is a joint project between the school and Dutch airline KLM. ' The more efficient new and energy-efficient aircraft designs, the Flying-V, are extremely important in the effort to improve the airline industry. Our highest goal is to have flights that no longer bring emissions into the environment. Combining with KLM is a rare opportunity to change the face of the industry , 'said Henri Werij, head of the aerospace engineering department at TU Delft.

Flying-V's first prototype will go up in October this year, right on the 100th anniversary of KLM's airline establishment.

Due to its strange appearance, the interior of Flying-V also has a different design. According to Peter Vink, design professor at TU Delft: ' The new shape of the aircraft means we have the opportunity to redesign the entire interior, which can make the flight more comfortable than before. . For example, as part of the Flying-V research team, we can change the way we relax and eat when flying '.

But this is what people are most worried about: the plane will tilt when it turns in the air . When passengers have to sit on the wing, it is likely that the amount of vomit bags will not be enough when the weather is bad.

Flying-V's unique design separates netizens' opinions into parts, but no matter which group you belong to, you will still have to wait for the test date to get the most accurate judgment.
