It has a wingspan slightly more than a 747, but it's not even close to the same size as a 747.

This would greatly reduce global warming since there are million flights a day and planes are emitting it near the atmosphere

Great technical advance in theory. Next will see how it could be practically applied. As saint357 indicated, it's a long way off from commercialization.
