Just as mentioned, airport infrastructure and runways issues, cabin emergency egress issues, structural weight and strength issues to pressurize a whooping cabin that is not a simple tube and how could we cope with an extra 500 more passenger deaths at the crash scene.

That’s lax airport 2:32

some Aliens will think we are their brothers and sisters if they saw that

Evacuation in 3 minutes ain't happening.

And the United States of America still cant achieve highspeed rail...

Nope, just the click bait of today...

see what u can do with back engineered alien tech.. I still want a window seat..

Even with folding wings,these fat bods ain't gonna happen.What was,will be,until anti-grav tech is released....They got it and keeping it hushed.Remember flying cars,touted 50 some years ago? George Jetson,where are you?

You are re-inventing the wheel, nature had blended wing body design sussed millions of years before Orville Wright coaxed his birdcage off the sands of Kill Devil Hills to wobble skywards. Look to the sea and those ooh soo cool manta rays, sting rays, gliding through the water yes cats& kittens blended bodies that work.

Northrop's wings were not the first. See the 1918 Stout "Batwing", though it had a fin & rudder. Of several contenders; Boris Ivanovich Cheranovsky in 1926 flew the BICh-3 first as a glider then with an 18hp engine, though it could stay aloft on partial power. He and others like Northrop & the Hortens all tried for the purist's all-wing without any vertical stabilizer. They then tried wing-wip fins which were a little bit less terrible. Those who put a fin & rudder at the tail behind the prop, produced good stable safe planes, in the case of the Arup, markedly superior to "Normal" planes. Dunne, Payen, Fauvel, Lippisch, Junkers, Johnson. All followed those steps. Northrop and the Hortens tried for the purist's all-wing and the planes were tricky and risky. All wanted to put all habitable volume in a wing so of course there were a lot of odd things with big wings for their small size, with a pod for the pilot and the engine at front.. All tried to some extent ranging from various lifting fuselage bodies. Many made good planes. Ignored by backers or investors. For a more approachable version, look up the Boeing model 754, rather like many designed by Burnelli, of Texas. Look up the Burnelli CBY-3. It does not take advanced materials and engines to make planes that get x1.5x the range and payload, on to shorter runways with perfectly normal (better) conventional handling.

Used to work for Northrop. We had designs for flying wing airliners. These were never pushed forward because the aerodynamic advantages never outweighed other disadvantages. The ideal flying wing airliner would house the passengers in the wing. The wing thickness to make this happen would wipe out all aerodynamic advantage of a wing unless the aircraft flew so slow that no one would want to fly. Boeing investigated building a blended wing airliner to replace the 747 and could not find a design that was better the 747. People keep on looking at flying and blended wings and keep finding it doesn't work.

No actually it’s the plane of the past

i was in ben gurion 12 times and all of this security seemed me pretty normal

Unfortunately it is not the aircraft of the future......

It is always the plane of the future, and has... and yet no plane manufacturer has or will them.....

I miss the old strata-cruisers & constellations… that was flying… hearing the props spin & hum… those were the days of beautiful flying birds… guess I’m dating myself here… If you haven’t flown on one your missing out of a wonderful experience in the air…

While it would be nice to see something different, there are fundamental problems - airliners have a circular cross section because that's the most effective shape to contain the cabin pressure - a blended wing cabin would be much heavier because of strengthening required . In addition existing designs with thin wings and minimum size circular cross section fuselages will have a significantly lower total cross sectional / frontal area than a blended wing design and therefore much less drag. Then as raised in the video there is the problem of emergency exits, windows for passengers, baggage storage and loading. Never say never, but I don't see them coming.

This kind of plane will come in the future , I know ,the business class will be in the middle on the sides

Ask Howard Hughes…!

Ugly like hell, never could imagine this could come to reality

1:05 Put away your "USA only glasses"! Then you would know that the first flying wings were built by the Horten brothers in the mid 1930s in Germany.

There is a long, detailed explanation as to why the BWB will not be viable. Let me summarize it in a single sentence: the manufacturing difficulties and the limits it places on a design being flexible enough to easily be sized for specific markets means that it is economically non-viable. Plus, you really don’t want to sit very far from the roll center of the aircraft unless you have a supply of barf bags handy.

If anything happens with the computer ,even a hiccup, everyone is dead. The flying wing is inherently unstable. The flying wing bomber was created for stealth. You don’t need that in commercial applications.

Yes, I do good idea😊

Wow! That is great. I prefer BWB planes! Thumbs up!

The B-2 has a computer that constantly corrects the aircraft because it's very unstable for it's wing design. Kinda like the 737 MAX with it's bigger engines and MCAS or whatever, but worse.

Today’s aircraft, with their fuselages and distinct wings, are remarkably similar to birds, and I’ve yet to see a “blended-wing” bird. Maybe nature and God know something we don’t.

You've pretty much summarized all the main issues: pressurization, evacuation, centering and stability, roller-coaster ride for passengers seated far from the middle. There's also cargo compatibility, jet bridge compatibility, engine maintenance, absence of windows for passengers, complexity of deriving variant designs. If that's not bad enough, the nail in the coffin is probably that the current design is now mostly set in stone through the way certification processes and regulations are written. When you see how long it's been for Boeing to certify the MAX 10 and 777x when they are only incremental designs, I can't imagine how hard it would be to get funding for a BWB project when certification requires basically to get the FAA and/or JAA to agree to rewrite half the rules beforehand.

still not built after 40yrs

dosent look very stable lol

Yes, the 737 Max introduced a new feature they should call "Crash by Wire". It's very innovative. No one ever seen anything like it.

The aliens never gave us permission to use the flying wing commercially.

This new wingplane will becomes anothers BOEING unsuccesfull STORY AFTER LOTS ISSUES INSIDE BOEING SINCES MERGER WITH MD. THIS DAY ONLY A HALF OF BOEING CUSTOMERS BELIVES BOEING CAPABILITIES PRODUCING SAFEST PLANES.

It’s interesting and cool but a lot of people will have to go without a window seat there will be very few window seats that’s the problem it’s a nice idea but I don’t think it’ll be popular because of the lack of window seats very few airlines would buy it meaning it’ll be discontinued very quickly it’s an idea that’s doomed to fail unless they can figure out something that could give you a window seats even if it’s on a tv screen that way you can see everything even without window seats

Something like the Boeing Sonic Cruiser would be a great compromise between a flying wing and a flying tube. It would also be safer for emergency deplaning, and easier boarding. This plane operates just under the speed of sound.

With Boeing being a dead end as of late it's refreshing to see more entrants into the commercial aviation space again... Especially with the departure of Bombardier but not its primary product, now the A220... That thing is selling like gangbusters even with teething issues..

Yesterday ive flown on a atr72-500 btw i can still watch youtube with no wifi or internet(i download some vids lol)

That future shape looks ugly like a stingray. I love the A350.

Nice vid, but very poorly researched. At least read Wikipedia" flying wings".

production is important and the current design of aircraft allows for easy manufacturing major parts like wings can be built in separate facilities which speeds up the process of building it

is it just me or does the b-2 look like something out of star wars

That CANNOT be the future of aviation. It IS radical.

1:16 There was flying wings built before it (YB-49 for example), but I guess they technically don't exist anymore.
