    What ever happened to those blended wing craft RealEngineering said were gonna kick the old fashioned fuselage’s ass soon?

    Or high speed rail and/or blimps‽

      1. 737s/A320s are cheap and reliable (and blended wing still needs a lot of R&D)
      2. The U.S. govt. doesn’t want to pay for high speed rail, and it is worse for long distances or crossing bodies of water
      3. Blimps are slow and expensive

        blimps are slow and expensive, but that doesn’t stop me from wanting one.
