Looks to me from the models they are showing around that the wings carry near no fuel and half the fuselage is going to be a giant gas tank. Great insurance if you crash cause nobody will live. Got my concerns over pax evac requirements being met if the fuel tank comment is wrong and the back of the plane will hold pax. I think that Boeing and Airbus are flayling like General Dynaics did in the 60s.

Can we please stop creating new 'Sonic Cruiser' threads on this forum every five minutes. There are already three running only a day or so old.
They can be found: Boeing gambles on speed with Sonic Cruiser (http://www.pprune.org/ubb/NonCGI/Forum1/HTML/014369.html)
Boeing sonic cruiser-you get what you pay for (http://www.pprune.org/ubb/NonCGI/Forum1/HTML/014368.html)
SonicCruiser Hologram Appears! A mirage????? (http://www.pprune.org/ubb/NonCGI/Forum1/HTML/014339.html)
I'm closing this thread and any new ones will be moved to other forums, most likely Tech Log if they involve discussion on design issues.
