A model of a futuristic airplane called "AMELIA" is tested in the gigantic wind tunnel at Moffett Field in Mountain View. The plane, which some are calling the next 737, has engines above its wings to reduce noise. It will also be able to take off and land at much smaller airports thanks to its improved lift.
