The Future of Commercial Aircraft?

Just an interesting article about a quieter and more fuel-efficient commercial airplane developed by the Cambridge-MIT Institute. The article doesn't make it seem like this particular plane, the SAX-40, will be produced any time soon, but it's positive to see that airplane redesigns to cut energy use are being considered. The article also mentions how it's more likely the SAX-40 or another more fuel-efficient airplane will be produced if the airline is ever taxed as a result of their emissions.
