Engineers from the University of Cambridge and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have unveiled a radical design for a "silent aircraft".
The team says any noise from the concept aircraft, known as the SAX-40, would be "imperceptible" beyond the boundaries of an airport. It would also burn far less fuel than conventional planes.
"A stunning survey of the latest evidence for intelligent life on Mars. Mac Tonnies brings a thoughtful, balanced and highly accessible approach to one of the most fascinating enigmas of our time."
--Herbie Brennan, author of Martian Genesis and The Atlantis Enigma
"Tonnies drops all predetermined opinions about Mars, and asks us to do the same."
--Greg Bishop, author of Project Beta
"I highly recommend the book for anyone interested in the search for extra-terrestrial artifacts, and the political intrigues that invariably accompany it."
--David Jinks, author of The Monkey and the Tetrahredron
"Mac Tonnies goes where NASA fears to tread and he goes first class."
--Peter Gersten, former Director of Citizens Against UFO Secrecy

I saw an article in an aviaiton magazine last year about huge, triangular lighter-than-air craft that were being tested and used as surveillance and intelligence-gathering platforms. There were pictures and everything. I should have bought the damn thing. It could explain SOME (not all) flying triangle reports.
I seriously doubt those things your talking about could be mistaken for what has been described countless times. for one thing they are still using convential technology (turbo fans or jet engines) and thus still manouver in conventional manner most likely with alot of noise. And secondly if its recent it does'nt explain masses of sightings in earlier years.
In any case, this quieter plane design is all pie in the sky, still using jet engines & I cant see any mass carrier adopting such a "wacky" design, they are all signing up for the new airbus & boeing..very convential altho bigger..still very boring. Thats the future of air travel for the next 30+ years..
