There are several big advantages in the "Blended Wing & Fuselage" design, the most important being the Lift to Drag ratio which is expected to increase by an amazing 50%, resulting in an overall weight reduction of the aircraft by 25%, making it an estimated 33% more fuel efficient than the A380, and thus making the Airbus's $13 Billion Dollar investment look pretty shaky.

Boeing 797 has been an email/internet hoax since 2006! Unreal how these hoaxes keep going and going.

Imagine being the passengers sitting in the outer wing seats. You’ll go up and down 30 or 40 feet every time the plane banks. They’d have to put you in a bubble so the vomit doesn’t wash down the aisles.
