800-Passenger Airplane is getting ready, shortly!

China is testing a 1:52 scale model of an 800-passenger flying-wing aircraft concept designed with an 85-meter wingspan. Key Specifications and Design • Capacity: More than 800 passengers, which surpasses the Airbus A380. • Dimensions: 85-meter wingspan (1.6 times wider than a B-2 bomber) and 43 meters in length. • Layout: A blended lifting-wing configuration that merges the fuselage and wings into a single surface. • Performance: Targets a cruising speed of Mach 0.8 with high aerodynamic efficiency. Current Status • Testing: Researchers at the China Aerodynamics Research and Development Center (CARDC) have evaluated a stainless-steel scale model in a transonic wind tunnel. • Timeline: The project remains in the early research phase with no official production date or full-scale prototype announced.
