The maturation of technologies that can potentially enable a Transonic Truss-Braced Wing (TTBW) vision vehicle have continued under the latest phase of the Subsonic Ultra Green Aircraft Research (SUGAR) program. Ground testing in this phase has further reduced configuration unknowns, and provided valuable data for future potential design activities.
