Il programma SUGAR (Subsonic Ultra Green Aircraft Research), collaborazione tra NASA e Boeing avviata nel 2008, mira a promuovere la ricerca e lo sviluppo di tecnologie per aeromobili sostenibili e ad alte prestazioni nel settore del volo subsonico per creare aeromobili più efficienti, eco-compatibili e silenziosi. Un risultato significativo del programma SUGAR è il Boeing X-66, un aereo sperimentale che sfrutta tecnologie innovative come le ali truss-braced. Questa tesi esplora le fasi principali del programma SUGAR e fornisce un'analisi del Boeing X-66, evidenziando il suo contributo all'aviazione sostenibile.
