That's gonna be one massive aircraft!! :)

I wonder if Boeing are still going to launch something that can compete?

Just looking at the top deck, and the curvature. By the time you add bins above the seats, I think the window seats are going to be very tight.

The curvature of the fuselage, and angle of the windows makes for an interesting issue of exposure for the SLF (and C/C as they lean over to place the trays in front of the pax.).

Presents a very different profile from the Upper Deck of a 747. Wonder what the reaction of the punters will be.
