The most extreme, yet very functional designs, usually fly at such speeds, on-board human pilots could not even sustain consciousness. The military's F-22, however, is a good place to start in what is actually flying in "our" skies today. Unfortunately it is not an accurate example of what represents the latest in aircraft design, but better represents the latest of weapons technology and fixed wing capabilities. The most practical application to futuristic aircraft technology and design is based on multiple planetary escape velocities, space flights and operations, planetary re-entries, and all on a refuel-able craft from which preparations and maintenance is low cost and "reasonable". Your answer is Best explained by the 2006 standing space shuttle design of the National Aeronautics and Space Association (N.A.S.A). Unfortunately, the latest of our aircraft technology lies at the frustrating mercy of energy limitations.

Most technology today revolves around:
1. Making airplanes more efficient.
2. Making airplanes safer.
3. Developing the perfect balance between automation and manual pilot operation.
To further elaborate these three technologies:
1. Engines and aerodynamics are constantly being improved.
2. Making airplanes safer, at least at this point, consists of cockpit systems, such as EGPWS, FLIR systems integrated into HUDs, TCAS II, integrating terrain displays into EADIs, etc.
3. For a while there, airplanes were becoming too automated. Airbus actually lost airplanes in the late eighties and early nineties because they tried to take pilots out of the decision-making loop. (And when I say lost airplanes, I mean they had airplanes crash, killing people). Boeing and Airbus realized that in the end, only pilots can make decisions and that the cockpit automation can only be used as an aid to help the pilots, not replace their jobs. As such, Boeing and Airbus have since been designing and developing cockpit automation systems that are designed to help the pilots out to the maximum extent possible, but not replace the decisions they make with their own electronic brains, which cannot be programmed to think, learn, or make decisions.

Um... I do know one example of an aircraft used as a new technology. It's the A380 (largest plane in the world) has 2 stories and the second story goes all the way to the end. And um... it carries 555 passengers and has better bathrooms which is all I care about.
yea that's an example tho.

Yes, aircraft is technology.
