Experimental aircraft developed with Boeing aims to use 30 per cent less fuel thanks to innovative wing design

NASA teamed with Boeing on a redesign of the MD-90, a single-aisle passenger jet originally produced by McDonnell Douglas from 1993 to 1997, and by Boeing since then. It seats 153 passengers.
