In the search for a more environmentally-friendly future, Delta Air Lines has partnered with California-based start-up JetZero to design a more fuel-efficient blended-wing-body aircraft. Rather than a traditional tube-style aircraft, this design will feature a triangular design, creating a traveling experience like we've never seen before.

Importantly, by not investing in maintaining aging copper networks moving forward, service providers will instead be able to invest in deploying fiber. https://hubs.li/Q03hmQRF0 #TechnologyInnovation #MRX #TelecomInfrastructure
