A three-winged aircraft is set to change aviation

The SE200 super plane could change the industry! Here's everything you need to know about it...

25 August 2021


In the aviation industry. New systems, new machines and new equipment. But now there is to be a real revolution. Because, the US company "SE Aeronautics" has designed a three-winged aircraft that is said to have low fuel consumption and a long range.

Superplane as the airline of the future?

The "SE200" is a planned three-wing aircraft from the US company "SE Aeronautics". According to the website of the start-up, the company wants to change the industry with the new aircraft model. Conventional, "poorly designed" aircrafts would be a thing of the past. The company wants to create a completely new generation of aircrafts.

According to the company, the planned wide-body jet will offer space for 264 passengers.It also aims to maximize range up to 10,560 miles (just under 17,000 kilometers) with an estimated 70 percent reduction in fuel consumption. The SE200's carbon footprint is even said to be 80 percent lower than conventional aircraft. But that's not all! The aircraft manufacturer is looking to score even more points with the SE200. "Not only will we exceed on all of these metrics, but we will also be able to build these aircrafts in less than half the time it normally takes to build an aircraft of this size," the SE Aeronautics website continues.

Highest security with three wings

The design of the futuristic aircraft also represents a unique selling point. For example, in order to protect the aircraft from the unpredictable bird strike, which has already caused one or two serious problems, the engines of the SE200 are to be mounted at the tail. In addition, the fuselage is not to be made from several pieces as usual, but only from one.

But the highlight is probably the three wings of the new aircraft model. This is supposed to improve the lift considerably compared to the air resistance, which would also make short take-offs and landings possible. However, there is still no approximate date when the aircraft could be launched on the market. Because so far it is only a modern concept of a super airplane.
