Specialists at the Central Aerohydrodynamic Institute (TsAGI) are considering the concept of a long-range aircraft in an integrated "flying wing" and "lifting fuselage" configuration as a priority. This was announced by the General Director of TsAGI, Kirill Sypalo.

According to him, research data shows that the "flying wing" design is 15-20% more fuel-efficient than the currently used classical configurations.
The "flying wing" design has significant potential for reducing noise in the vicinity of airports.
Also, fundamental research has revived design studies of supersonic passenger aircraft with an acceptable level of sonic boom — a problem that could not be solved for many years since the times of Tu-144 and Concorde.
Earlier, www1.ru reported that the MC-21-300 aircraft consumes half the kerosene compared to the Tu-154M.
