    Whatever happened to that blended wing body design NASA and Boeing were playing with?

    It is still being researched, but blended wing craft don't have a stabilizer fin, and there is also the lack of window seating. Would you like to be cooped up in economy class with the 30 other people in a single row?@DisposableInterloper:

    @Anarian: It's not still being researched. The decision was made as soon as a tube fuselage wasn't shown to the board members. When Boeing lost the contest to build the F-35, it wasn't due to poor engineering, it was because it "looked less like a plane should."

    It's just like Dubya science - let's take the results that back up our beliefs!

    That plane looks like it was made out of a chicklet.

    If only I was an engineer. I can draw planes worth a damn, but hell if I could actually design innards that work :S

    I'm willing to bet that you actually tried to think of a "lame legroom joke" and, upon failing, put that "insert here" thing in the article instead.

    @bestpersonintheunivers: I suppose *insert witty snarkism as a retort*.
