Quiz: QUIZ: Boeing

Question 4 of 5

Boeing is currently designing an airplane named after which children's television character?

  1. Barney The Dinosaur
  2. Clifford The Big Red Dog
  3. Dora The Explorer
  4. Kermit The Frog
Correct!

Boeing is currently designing a new generation of airplanes. Not only are they intended to lower costs, use less fuel and cause fewer pollutants, but some designs have wings that spring unexpectedly from the fuselage and shapes that defy convention. What better way could there be to christen these bold new designs than with the names of Jim Henson's beloved Muppets? Consequently, these new aircraft bear names such as the low-noise "Kermit Kruiser," the fuel-sparing "Fozzie" and the low-emissions "Beaker."
