ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Flying-V jet

Do you like airplanes? The Flying-V is a brand new airplane that is shaped like a V! It's a special type of jet that is easier to fly and needs less fuel to travel long distances.

Think of it like this-- Imagine holding a paper airplane by the top corners of the wings and giving it a good throw. It flies through the air without wobbling too much, right? That's because the wings are at an angle like a V, which helps it stay steady.

Now imagine a huge airplane that is shaped like a big V in the same way. That's how the Flying-V works! The passengers and pilots sit in the center of the V, and the engines are on the sides. The engines work together with the wings to help the plane go really fast, but also use less gas than other big airplanes.

So, the Flying-V jet is a special type of airplane that is shaped like a V, and it helps the pilots fly better and also helps save fuel for long journeys. Pretty cool, huh?
