“Sky is not the limit”
William Carbone

“New airplanes are reshaping the future of aviation with advanced technologies focused on sustainability, efficiency, and passenger comfort. Manufacturers like Boeing and Airbus are developing next-generation aircraft such as the Boeing 777X and the Airbus A350neo, which feature lighter composite materials, more efficient engines, and improved aerodynamics. These planes reduce fuel consumption and emissions, aligning with the global push toward greener aviation.”
