Joseph Sutter, Boeing Commercial Airplane Company, has just announced that Boeing is studying a new aircraft that will be on the air in 1992. This plane would have 150 seats and the first prototype would be in the air of 1990.

This plane presents some design advances, with two double counterrevolutionary propellers, which will be placed at the rear of the plane, will be propelled; in addition, it will use the formula known as duck, the main wings will be at the rear and will have two fins at the front. This wing formula is not new because some conbate planes already use it.

With the use of these new systems it is estimated that on the one hand fuel consumption will decrease by 25% and on the other, there will be an improvement in maneuverability, landing and dismantling mainly.
