The latest “we’re going to revolutionize the industry” design. Yawn. Design it, build it, test it, prove the numbers, then get back to me. Claiming 70% less fuel burn, when they haven’t even done tunnel testing or flown a prototype, is a sign they specialize in marketing, not aerodynamics. And marketing has a history of being useless in helping an aircraft make it’s claimed performance numbers.
