No.
The ‘future’ airplane will be much like a helicopter.

Everybody has a blended-wing design that they’re trying to get funding for or get into production and into the market. Boeing’s X-48 is another example.

Boeing has been researching a blended body for quite a while. I think it is the X43

We have basically been refining the last commercial plane design of the 747 for 45 years, since it went into service in 1970.

Except for the Concorde from 1976-2000, there have no radical advancements in commercial aircraft design.

When you look at the aviation progress from 1945 to 1970, it was a revolution of design in just 25 years.

Since then, not so much.

I look forward to the future.

It is tiresome to sit in a tube like cattle.

Few windows, carries 800 people. Probably all standing up crammed together. Yup, that’s the future.
