Maybe more fuel efficient and thats great
But i see a lot of downsides, namely a much bigger footprint and target posibly a lot more places for airframe fatigue

Boeing has explored a similar concept and may still be doing so. At least two major problems are evacuation times and airport design of ramps and jetways.

Is this a story from 1995? Boeing has been workkng on the Blended Wing Body (BWB) concept for 25 years.

Does it spin around, and come right back to where it started from, like a boomerang?
To: BenLurkin
This type of design is many years old. Seating passengers that far from the centerline makes for an unpleasant flight.

This will be an airframe stress nightmare.
I am afraid that this airframe, though innovative, will split in flight, right down the centerline.
To: BenLurkin
I don’t if this will “fly,” but I’d love to see the aerospace/airline industries get back to innovation. In the 20 year span between say 1948 and 1968, things improved by leaps and bounds. And then stagnation. Commercial air travel has basically been stuck in the same place for more than 50 years.
Of course, I know that there have been technical improvements in avionics, autopilot etc, but from the passenger point of view how is flying now improved from 1970? Let me think. Coach & business class on some planes are much fancier with personal pods and makeshift beds, etc. And that does improve the experience if you can afford it.. What else? Smoking is banned, so no more being stuck next to an old lady and her Virginia Slims for a whole flight, I guess. Anything else? I’m running out here.

Racist plane, because "white privilege" & Trump! Should be painted Black, and flown backwards ("A" for ANTIFA)!
