Civil aircraft designs what-ifs

[fightingirish]

Found these concepts at A.net:

Composite 370-500 Seat Twin VLA Design "Ecoliner"

That would be a great B777 successor!!!

Hypothetical Boeing Embraer 110-165 Seater >20% Fuel Reduction

Edit: I think, this is not the right thread! Dear Mods, feel free to move this post to "Scale Modelling, Fan Art & Profiles"

Thanks 'irish. The Kaktus Digital 110-165 seater is especially nice-looking.

If this design ever moved out of the hypothetical, I suspect that it would grow a larger tail. Control would be easier and noise reduction more effective from different angles. It would lose some of its cool appeal, though. :-\

A fuel cell might be lighter than a batteries for the large APU.

Oh God No.

I don't mean to derail the topic but Keesje is rather...opinionated, shall we say.
