"What a 16,000 mph airliner might look like"
A tube full of pureed humans should even a small buffet be encountered in high speed flight.
A debris field of charred parts should the heat shielding fail.
Bits and pieces washing up on distant shores should a loss of control occur in flight.
- moron4hire 10y agoWe should get the engineers in contact with you. It seems you've identified some critical flaws they haven't considered.
- frgtpsswrdlame 10y agoWhat engineers? This is a conceptual design which will never ever be built and whose purpose is to provoke conversation.
- gus_massa 10y agoI don't like the style of the GP comment, but the plane discussed in the article is more a general idea than a detailed design that has been tested in simulations and just need some money to get build. If it were software, I'd classify it as vaporware.
