It’s a good idea for efficiency I would guess.
!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!
Most of the blended wing designs are filled in, this would be good for passenger planes. The other could have more cargo I suppose. I’m not an aeronautical engineer so I don’t know if this new design has any advantages, lighter and more efficient for passengers perhaps?

Question for someone smarter than I: Do these designs have high AoA problems? I see compressor stall written all over this?

Neat design that is a airport planning and maintenance nightmare

“ 3 meter model.”
So something like this...

Well yeah, they haven’t built a real one. Must be interesting to fly that thing.

Based on the savings from the blended wing planes I don’t see how they can ignore the designs. The gate should just go to the side and they said the wingspan on this one is the same as other current planes. It looks like the cargo door is behind the passengers there by the KLM. Maybe the flight crew could be central in the V with restrooms and the forward one is central too.

That is an interesting question. Maybe they limit the AoA since it's designed to be for civilian use? I mean, there's limitations on current civilian aircraft that the pilot isn't supposed to exceed...

One of the things they were saying when they unveiled this is that it would fit at standard gates, and thus could operate more or less normally. I imagine the maintenance on those engines would be trickier (though probably still easier than dealing with the tail engine on a trijet).

I like how the article reads that it few its maiden voyage when, in reality, a 3D model of the plane few it’s maiden voyage. I’m sure the software took a lot more environmental details and aerodynamics into account than, say, Kerbal Space Program, but it’s still funny to me.
Then again, we don’t build stuff and then test it, we test it and then build it. It’s a cool idea, and I’d love to see an aviation marvel come to passing in my lifetime. We got electric cars and self-landing rockets, but passenger planes have kind of stayed the same.

I would suggest it would not be a problem as AOA would not be high. Hih AOA exists on planes with high wing loading, (wing area/craft weight) needing flaps and slats to fly at low speeds, such as any common airliner. This particular design uses the whole body as well as wing area and therefore has much lower wing loading, so it owuldnt need a high AOA to generate the total lift required. Plus, the length of the body chord would give the airflow enough time to calm down and be smoother into the inlets.

I guess it depends on the overall width. At a glance, these look to have a larger wingspan than current fleets , which could definitely present issues in terms of terminal design and gate layouts. But most jetbridges have enough points of articulation that connecting to the aircraft should not be an issue as long as that connection point is near the cockpit.
As for maintenance, I would suppose that a new model of crane built specifically for these would do the trick. At the very least, they could secure the engine, disconnect it from the fuselage, then back straight up to pull it clear, then lower it straight down for ground-based maintenance.

Why are people even wasting time on new airliner designs as if travel is something that's going to be permitted again?

A big fat scissor lift would fit right in between the engines back there, should be fine.
