Boeing has introduced its newest Transonic Truss-Braced Wing (TTBW) concept, an ultra-thin, folding wing designed to significantly increase aerodynamic efficiency. The TTBW has a 170-foot wingspan with each wing supported by a truss. According to Boeing, the newest TTBW concept further optimized the truss and modified the wing sweep resulting in "a more integrated design that significantly improved vehicle performance."
