Default Blended-wing Airliner

There's a big difference from being displaced 10 feet from the center of a
20ft 747 cabin and being 40 ft from the center. And sure the (auto)pilot
has control of the bank but he still has to land and I've been in wide
body airliners that did a significant amount banking on final during bad
weather.


I wonder if a version of this plane could use fly by wire to change the way
the plane turns, a bit.

Could they have the plane do a bit more of a skid though the turns to
eliminate, or mostly eliminate the up and down of the banking for the
passenger's comfort? A little more lateral G would be better, I would
think.
