What is it about?
This paper presents the study of a possible novel configuration called ‘‘PrandtlPlane,’’ having a box-wing layout. The paper deals with the definition of top level requirements and faces the conceptual study of the overall configuration, focusing on fuselage sizing as well as on the aerodynamic design of the box-wing system.

Why is it important?
Novel aircraft configurations, such as the box-wing one, can be a solution to improve the air traffic of the future in a sustainable way.
Perspectives
The present paper presents part of the activities carried out within the research project PARSIFAL (‘‘Prandtlplane ARchitecture for the Sustainable Improvement of Future AirpLanes’’), which has been funded by the European Union under the Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation Program (Grant Agreement No. 723149).
