The Military & Aerospace Electronics take:

12 April 2022 -Jim Scott of the United Kingdom-based Artemis Aerospace says that "While few fundamental features have changed since the 1950s, jet engines have continued to improve in power and efficiency with modifications made to fuselage, flight decks and engines among other essential adjustments.

He continues, "Indeed, two of the most popular and long-serving airplanes in operation: Boeing's 737 and Airbus's A320 have moved through many variants since they launched in the 1960s and 1980s respectively. However, the basic concept has remained the same: to provide safe and economical air travel."

Scott's piece notes on the technological steps achievable in the future of commercial aerospace.
