It's a 6 minute video but very interesting:

Thanks,

I thought it was interesting that they would show what looked like pictures of a future aircraft that did not follow the tried and tested cigar
tube with wings look that is the rubber stamp standard for aircraft. I am a personal fan of Jack Northrop and think his flying wing design is
one of the best all around design in efficiency and economy. The entire design is built around the singular purpose of flying. Then again
modern airports are all designed around the cigar tube and a flying wing airline would be left on the ramp due to efficiency in loading
based on a single concept of what jet liner is suppose to look like.

I am also a fan of the Beech Starship and Piaggio P.180 and I would love to own a Long-EZ; so my personal taste in airplane
may lead toward the radical.

Again a good video.
