This is just crazy!

UFOs may soon no longer be just the realm of science fiction writers: researchers at the Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands have started working on an "ultra eco-friendly plane" of the future which, in the vision of project director Etnel Straatsma, happens to be a flying saucer. As the head of recently-started CleanEra project, he hopes to design a plane that will reduce noise and release 50% less carbon dioxide per passenger-mile than current airliners.
