It will be quieter, produce lower emissions and use 20 percent less fuel than comparable planes, while giving passengers a more comfortable cabin with better air quality and larger windows.
Because of the shape of the fuselage and the material used to make it... and the technique of spinning the carbon fiber. The pilot will be able to better control cabin pressure which will drastically reduce that jet lag feeling.
