* Using propellers rather than fuel-hungry jets, though this creates a concern because it makes for longer flight times. And, as you'll know if you've ever flown in a prop plane, it is freakin' loud.

* Using composite materials, which make the body of the plane weigh less and therefore use less fuel

* Using a ergonomic design, which also decreases the amount of fuel needed.

* Accommodating more passengers. One of these flying saucers could potentially hold up to 800 passengers.

Awesome concepts. But the Nazis tried something similar with dizzying success.
