>no shit, they said that passenger wouldn't be okay with a ticket price that was less than a third what conventional planes cost if you couldn't see a window from your seat
Wow normies are fucking retarded, a ticket price being chopped by 2/3 but the only drawback is you can't see out a tiny hole which you can't really see unless you are on the window seat, half the time is shut or black because it's night and most of the time all you see is clouds. Why the fuck would you not sign up in a heartbeat?

Last I checked flying wings are unstable as fuck, and that's with the weight still being mostly centered (like the B2). Unless there's been amazing breakthroughs in aerodynamics that are suddenly making this viable, I don't see how it could fly.

With how saturated mobile devices are now I'm sure passengers would care considerably less.

Idk, we’re called Amerifats for a reason.

>plane banks >people in the wing tips pass out from suddenly being exposed to -8G
the b2 and the f117 were both revolutionary aircraft but they were revolutionary because they have a low radar cross section. the only reason that we went with those designs was specifically for their radar signature, and had nothing to do with their efficiency or performance. the f117 was actually so bad in that regard we retired it because the one thing we designed it to do wasn't relevant anymore
the b2 has a very complex computer yaw control system they had to design to keep the plane stable in the air without vertical stabilizers, and the only reason they didn't put vertical stabilizers on it was to reduce its radar cross section - there would be no reason to make that design consideration on a commercial aircraft.
