on the other hand, I’m not sure the design of the Enterprise would actually hold together under any sort of acceleration.
“Mr. Sulu, full impulse power!”
“Aye, captain.”
( THUNK)
“ What the hell was that?”
“Captain, we appear to have left the warp engines several thousand kilometers behind us.”

But warp engines don’t provide thrust, they create a “warp field” for the ship to travel through at faster than light speeds. The impulse engines provide what we would consider thrust.

I know. I’m saying when the impulse engine (at the rear of the saucer) fires up and accelerates the ship, the mass/inertia of the warp engines would snap those pylons off at the base.

Okay I get it. Just a saucer ship would make more sense. They are spending so much energy on inertia dampening.

tbf any “real world” crewed long-range spacecraft is likely going to be a cylinder, or as close to one as possible.

I always like it when they take spaceships under water. Because a ship designed to spend its life in the vacuum of space would certainly also be able to hold up to the extreme pressure of deep water.

I’m mostly bothered by the fact they decided to make it way bigger than the TOS Enterprise for no apparent reason (roughly similar to the TNG ship).

I genuinely tried to get Cessna to make a forward swept wing Citation when I worked as a configuration engineer. I think the HansaJet had a brilliant layout for a corporate jet that would allow a relatively narrow cabin to feel quite a bit larger while maintaining a lower cross sectional area.
Modern light jets simply drop the center spar lower to clear the fuselage, and attach the wing with dogbone links and a few bolts to a monolithic tube cabin. If you compare an early Citation or Lear to the current models you’ll notice that the fairing where the wing meets the body is significantly larger today, with a greater distance between the cabin windows and the upper surface of the wing. As cabins grow, however, the height at which the fusel age would have to sit above the ground lengthens the gear too much, complicates access to the aft baggage area, and in cases where there would be an overwing emergency exit increases that ‘step down’ height too much so aircraft move towards a ‘notched fuselage’ design wherein the fuselage has a ‘notch’ for the center wing box to fasten into.

Just like the US Air Force, people don’t like funny looking jets, no matter how good they are. I guess it’s nothing more than going with what you know, and with what sells.

You’re talking about the Kelvin-verse ‘Prise, right? The 2009 Movie? The video is talking about the refit ‘Prise from TMP, which is just slightly larger than it was in TOS.
I’m still trying to figure out why JJ thought the interior of a 23rd century starship should look like a brewery, let alone why the ship needed to be that big.
