Somebody...quick...tell me about the pilot seats....they going to be as comfortable as a 2x10 plank? Do the Pilot access doors latch open or do you still have to use your foot to hold the things open? Do the doors open a full 180 degrees or only half way?
What Pilot access doors? That's why they swivel, you have to get out via the forward cabin door: great for Emergency Exit, battling the bears for egress

My immediate thoughts were that they haven't learnt from the A109 development of the undercarriage. Retracting into the fuselage takes up space (which could be used for fuel or baggage) and lots of weight for complex undercarriage. A pair of sponsons would both widen the track for stability, and simplify the retraction and associated ironmongery.
But hey, what do we know
