Do you think there will be any impact on the airline / travel world with this new a/c? Do you think the a/c will sell?

Will it enable me to go to Legends?

yeah, i think there will be an impact...... a terrorist impact from a shoulder fired missile, hijacking, etc. such a high profile imperialist dog infidel project such as these wacked out muslim extremist fanatics define this plane as it looks makes for a ripe target sad to say!! not to many u.s. airports will be able to accomodate the beast too, unless runway expansions are started asap!!! regards, tom

It's a weird looking plane, but that makes it unique. I like the gull like wing, and the whale like fuselage. I think technology could do better instead with more efficient engines, and supersonic planes.

To put it nicely, though I am a new pilot, I have no aspirations to fly or fly in the thing... To me, it looks like a big target, the new Titanic, and just a hazard. Of course, I guess people may have thought the same thing about the 747 when it first came out.

I think it will be an economic disaster when the first one crashes. It might be good for some short haul and/or Asian markets but in the US the airlines are having trouble filling the seats as it is, much less with a monster like that. Not to mention it will tie up the airport making waits longer. Could you imagine shifting luggage for 500+ people?

Ha Ha Ha.. That's a new one Ryan.. The new Titanic, that's a classic. What if those EU folk who built it called it "The New Titanic" in French. Oh man that would be a riot. Or better yet, the whale of "Thar She Blows Airlines" Sorry for the outburst guys..
