The aerospace giant's defense arm teased the new craft, covered in a black cloth.
It is believed to be a radical new craft using electric 'hairdryer' to allow it to land and take off vertically.
Boeing will unveil their mystery aircraft on December 19th.

Lots of supposition. No one knows for sure. Boeing stock up .75%, so possibly no big deal, but who knows.
If it "changes the future of air power," then that means military application.
But???

Part of that is that Boeing stock has already gone up almost 100% in one year. One year.

Yes it says the defense arm of Boeing. Besides this: “It is believed to be a radical new craft using electric ‘hairdryer’ to allow it to land and take off vertically”
Pretty sure a passenger jet is never going to do that. Land and take off vertically I mean I don’t even what is this? That’s a rocket.
To: Strac6
Its a solar powered jet. Only problem is that it has to sit on the ramp for three weeks on sunny days to get the piwer for a 10 minute flight. The design won over its less efficient giant twisted rubber band model.

Oh yes. I will take off and lans like a spaceship. At first I was thinking it was going to go straight up and straight down with its nose first. Probably not very practical if you want to live 😂😂🙄

Boeing stole the design from the Russians who built this 15 years ago .
Dumb idea then too.
