tl;dr It's not an actual design.
"While not intended to represent an actual aircraft, Airbus’ “Bird of Prey” is based on realistic ideas – providing an insight into what a future regional aircraft could look like."
“Our ‘Bird of Prey’ is designed to be an inspiration to young people and create a ‘wow’ factor that will help them consider an exciting career in the crucially-important aerospace sector,” explained Martin Aston, a senior manager at Airbus.

- steverb 7y agoYeah, it's basically concept art with some hand waving so we can pretend that it's in the realm of eventual possibility. It does look cool though. :-)
- lame-robot-hoax 7y agoMartin Aston should quit his job at Airbus and get a job at Aston Martin. Martin Aston working for Aston Martin only seems fitting, right?
- sadjad 7y agoI don't know, it seems backwards to me.
