The engineer in me cringes at that tiny area to which they plan to attach the predicted payload.

I understand hardpoints, but holy cow: The forces on that wing structure are going to be incredible!

I think so as well. The “composite” part of the design is probably emphasized in weight issues for the two fuselage components and the wings. I would think of it like a single super wide body with resistance and weight cut by the three profiles.

I think I will pass on going on the maiden voyage with the load detaching.

How do you say disintegrating flat spin in New Age?
