BOEING 797

From Harry Wait:
It can comfortably fly 10,000 Miles (16,000 km) at Mach 0.88 or 654 mph (1,046 km/h)
with 1000 passengers on board !
They have kept this secret long enough.

 The BOEING 797
Boeing is preparing this 1000 passenger Jet Liner that could reshape the Air Travel Industry. Its radical "Blended Wing & Fuselage" design has been developed by Boeing in cooperation with NASA Langley Research Centre. The mammoth aircraft will have a wing span of 265 feet compared to 211 feet of its 747, and its been designed to fit within the newly created Air Terminals for the 555 seat Airbus A380, which is 262 feet wide.
The new 797 is Boeing's direct response to the Airbus A380, which has racked up orders for 159 already. Boeing decided to kill its 747X Stretched Super Jumbo in 2003 after little interest was shown for it by Airline Companies, but continued to develop its "Ultimate Airbus Crusher", the 797 at its Phantom Works Research Facility in Long Beach, California.
The Airbus A380 had been in the works since 1999 and has accumulated $13 Billion in development costs, which gives Boeing a huge advantage. More so because Airbus is thus committed to the older style tubular structure for their aircraft for decades to come.
There are several big advantages in the "Blended Wing & Fuselage" design, the most important being the ‘Lift to Drag’ ratio which is expected to increase by an amazing 50%, resulting in an overall weight reduction of the aircraft by 25%, making it an estimated 33% more fuel efficient than the A380, and thus making the Airbus's $13 Billion Dollar investment look pretty shaky.
"High Airframe Rigidity" is another key factor in the "Blended Wing & Fuselage" technology. It reduces turbulence and creates less stress on the airframe which adds to fuel efficiency, giving the 797 a tremendous 10,000 Mile range with 1,000 passengers on board cruising comfortably at Mach 0.88 or 654 MPH, which gives it another advantage over the tube-and-wing designed A380's 570 MPH.
The exact date ! for introduction of the 797 is as yet unclear, but the battle lines are clearly drawn in the high-stakes war for future civilian aircraft supremacy.

  2. WOW! Is that cool. I wonder if they use AntiGravity technology - as is claimed to be used by the B-2 Bomber.

    "In Secrets of Antigravity Propulsion, physicist Paul LaViolette reveals the secret history of antigravity experimentation--from Nikola Tesla and T. Townsend Brown to the B-2 Advanced Technology Bomber. He discloses the existence of advanced gravity-control technologies, under secret military development for decades, that could revolutionize air travel and energy production. Included among the secret projects he reveals is the research of Project Skyvault to develop an aerospace propulsion system using intense beams of microwave energy similar to that used by the strange crafts seen flying over Area 51."

  3. Did I get fooled? Well, the design would be rather dated - they need a modern propulsion system like the Tall Whites use for Interstellar Travel:

    "Hall Photon Theory (HPT) is a radically new theory concerning the
    physical structure of photons and electromagnetic waves. This theory is solidly based on a careful review and analysis of several well-known and famous experiments in the field of physics. HPT successfully explains all
    known physical interactions involving photons, and also predicts the existence of additional physical interactions involving photons. HPT hypothesizes the existence of physically real photons that contain at least three physically real fields. The theory also suggests that the photon
    may contain additional physically real excited states, and may also contain additional physically real fields not yet quantified. Two of these fields are the well-known electric and magnetic fields described by Maxwell’s four
    equations. The new physically real fields, hypothesized by Hall Photon
    Theory (HPT Theory) are named the Star Shine fields, and are identified in the equations in this document as the Sn fields. The lowest order Star Shine
    field is the S0 field.
    Hall Photon Theory also expands Maxwell’s four equations to at least six in order to fully describe the interaction of these fields with matter. Additional expansion of the equations may possibly be necessary in the
    future."

  4. Damn, I got fooled. I haven't seen this one before.

  5. I didn't check the posting sent to me, hale-bopp is right about verifying the info on the net. I usually verify before forwarding. Beam me up Scotty!

  6. Air Buss’s A-380 is so heavy they will have to redo the landing strips. Where the plane touches down if the concrete isn’t thick enough the plane will go right thru it!

  7. I read all 25 pages about the hall photon theory, I think I was lost after the 2nd. paragraph. Strange that I understood the part about fibre optic coils and wire coils being used. Like I said earlier, Beam me up Scotty !
