BWBs are tempting, but let me state the usual cons mentioned for them.<p>- More passengers sit farther from the longitudinal axis, and consequently experience larger vertical accelerations from turbulence, as well as normal banking maneuvers.<p>- More passengers are farther from the windows.<p>- No great place to put a high bypass turbofan.<p>I'm hopeful that one eventually gets built though, it'll be interesting how these pan out.
