V shaped passenger aircrafts have come up numerous times in the past decades. Fact is, the further away you sit from the central longitudinal axis, the harder the momentum changes are going to be ( and the more likely it is for passengers to puke their guts out). Slight turbulences translate into up and down movements of several meters at the tips of the wings.
I see classic turbofan engine, wouldn’t this be perfect design for open-rotor engine where the prop is too large to fit under the wing ?
Never gonna happen.
Everything in civil aviation is standardised around ground handling and aircraft parking spaces. These BWB planes better fit in the existing parking boxes and connect to existing jet bridges.
I don’t care about any prototypes that never see the light of day.
Give me a news article when it’s actually made.
Oh another startup that goes nowhere.
euronews get hard from anything futuristic that has all sorts of practical problems. They were gushing over hyperloop too

The Dutch are highly innovative! Great idea.
