Exterior

The body is made of lightweight aluminium which reduces its
bodyweight.It can carry maximum weight of upto 4000kg. Smoothened
single sheet of aluminium surface equally reduces drag as compared to
other common methods.
Turbine and engines are above the wings.The engineers state that the
design helps in increasing space below the fusealage to reduce drag
and furthermore create more space in the cabin.Most aircrafts have
engines below the wings which they think accounts for reduced speed.
Engineers state that about 30percent of fuel is saved as compared to
equally the same lightweight jets.
