The studies show the wind tunnel. To convince the aviation industry on the design can take time.

Traditional aircraft design is not optimal in terms of flying qualities. Joachim Huyssen at North-West University of South Africa and Geoffrey Spedding of the University of Southern California has been at the wind tunnel tests have concluded that a more fagellik design is an efficient pilot.

The most important experience of the trials is that the fuselage should preferably be shorter and rounder than those of current aircraft designs, and finishes with a short tail, like a bird. The short tail reduces drag on the body.

The shape of the wings is also important for the effectiveness of the flight is where the gull wing is models, with a slight bend in the middle of the wing, say the researchers. With such a wing shape, you can check the stability even with this wing.

Huyssen and Spedding looks in his research that the aircraft could be significantly more fuel efficient with a new type of design, but recognize that it may take a long time for airlines, passengers and aircraft manufacturers dare to abandon it because the form already used by the Wright Brothers first flight 1903rd
