Question

It will take over 100 more years before any aircraft maker deviates from the conventional design consisting of a barrel fuselage, wings swept and engines podded below them. They still make them looking like a WW2 Me-262 on steroids.

I really don't understand why they won't change and use the great new technologies. Too much regulation, too conservative thinking, and afraid to take a chance..........

I thought they promised we will live on the moon by now?

Oh well, back to reality.

My thoughts only



Isaac

hmmmm. i don't fancy being a fare paying passenger seated under those engines.
looks like a bit twitchy aerodynamically to me. some interesting fast landings in that aircraft.

and what's with the false cockpit paintwork on the left hand wing? that threw me at first as to which direction the aircraft was flying until i checked the engines orientation.
