Aircraft configuration by applying the following method steps for improving the conventional box wing aircraft concept: dividing both the backward swept front and the forward swept rear wings into root and tip sections, wherein the tip sections (34) of the front wings are more backward swept than the root sections (37), and the tip sections (35) of the rear wings are more forward swept than the root sections (38). Preferred embodiments comprise moving the front wing to the nose and the rear wing towards the rear end of a long fuselage; adding a middle wing and thereby decreasing the wingspan by one third; dividing the middle wing into a backward swept root section (28) and two tip sections (29,30), one forward and another backward swept. The four wingtips on each side are interconnected by a wingtip fence (26), obtaining seven closed frame structures, as well as seven aerodynamic channels for the stream flow.
