#1. The MIT No Noise Aircraft
The SAX-40 is a joint project between engineers at The Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and Cambridge University in England. This aircraft seats 215 passengers and emits just 63 decibels during takeoff, compared to a whoping 150 decibels by a conventional airliner. The goal, notes
Popular Science, is to build an aircraft that is "inaudible outside the airport."
#2.MIT Concept Plane
A team of engineers at MIT have been awarded a $2 million contract by NASA to design a quieter and
more efficient aircraft that could be release as soon as 2030. According to
Dvice, "this squashed wide-body design is the team's preliminary effort."
#3. Luxury Blimp
