I must admit that I have a very limeted knowlede of Aeronautical engineering, bbut many years of plying around with flight simulator have led me to wonder:
i) If the plane is supposed to fly 9,000 miles, where are they going to get the fuel from? the design i've seen doesnt seem to have the space for fuel when you take baggage/cargo hold and PAX into account
ii)Without being too cynical, this looks a lot like a scaled down version of the boeing SST of the 60's. does anyone else think it will be the same?
iii) I thought the 747 and (really old) coronados could do this speed?
