# Sustainable Commercial Aircrafts An Alabama Start Up Has Designed an Eco-Conscious Aircraft By Francesca Mercurio | Published 2021-08-03 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ecoconscious-aircraft References: [designboom](https://www.designboom.com/technology/tri-wing-aircraft-concept-se-aeronautics-revolutionize-commercial-aviation-07-29-2021/) & [seaeronautics](https://www.seaeronautics.com/) Alabama start-up SE Aeronautics has released its revolutionary 'SE200' [eco-conscious aircraft](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sceye-haps) - a [widebody airplane](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stavatti-aerospace-sm39-razor) with a tri-wing configuration that is designed to fly with an 80% reduced carbon footprint. This innovative design can carry up to 264 passengers and can fly more than 10,000 miles. The design is made of a singular solid-molded material and ultra-thin and long wings - creating a lightweight, safe and durable commercial aircraft. CEO Mathew Tyler explains that not only is the design efficient and eco-conscious, but the manufacturing time of the 'SE200' is significantly less than any other aviation construction technique. SE Aeronautics is awaiting patent approval and believes its invention will revolutionize the commercial aviation industry through its eco-conscious and efficient design.
