His tweet contained one interesting picture, tweeted after a meeting with Airbus. The European Pilot and youtuber Mentour Now picked it up and speculates. Thread Title is taken from his post.
On that picture, an aircraft in A321 class with high aspect wings (Mentour speculates foldable for gust relief) and wing mounted open fan engines. Wing with odd shape to accommodate these engines. Lookup "mentour now" on youtube, his speculation just a few days old.
Will this be the next bold step for a new gen of aircraft?
If so, it's being introduced in a rather timid manner!
