This is really an interesting looking ac...

We need to have a discussion here on this design, hopefully, this is the right place in the forum.

The wing is getting really close to a mid-fuse design, that is very interesting.

and damn, the engines are as large as the tube...

Curious the images from Boeing show the ac in a red scheme!

Kinda like a supersized 757...

The wing is in the same place, lower mounted. I recommend you go check the definitions on lower, mid and top mountings again.

The engines on the current Triple already appear as big as the fuselage.

Raked tips? Nothing new there.

No fold demarcation shown.

Everything goes faster in red. Ask a boy racer.

One of Boeing's B747-8 was/is in red cols. So nothing new there either.

Asia dominant market by the time the new triple hits the airways? In Asia Red is lucky Blue is unlucky and I suspect that's the reason.

I am sure any new design is technically interesting but sadly in their basic form have all evolved from the 737-100 and are now essentially identical to the general public being various lengths of twins of either wide body or narrow body variant. Logical of course as design evolves but a shame for enthusiasts as the last MB80s and soon 744s head for the sunset. Only variation being the mighty A380 . I wonder how that will do long term despite the totally superior passenger comfort compared to the T7 which personally I think wallows around horribly with its giant fans magnifying every tiny power change, But then when did passenger preference outweigh passenger parsimony and accountants sums.
