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