That ratio isn't all that different from today's aircraft, is it?


Even with ten across, the ratio is 1 in 5. In smaller aircraft it is
higher.

Where do the emergency exits go? Which airports will be constructing
completely new gates for these aircraft? How long does it take to
replace an engine? Where do you board the aircraft? Where does the
cargo go?


Whgat's it matter? you don't fly and you never will?


I'm sure that noise reduction alone cannot justify this aircraft. If
the gain in fuel is really 35%, that could work strongly in its favor
(it would have to be verified with real-world prototypes), but
probably not enough to overcome many other issues, only a fraction of
which have been mentioned above.


Good grief, it's a clueless vortex.
