Posted: 14 Jun 2011, 22:08What a fantastic looking aircraft, such a shame that in service it would never look like that.
The pure economics of the airline industry would not allow for such a seating set up.

Has SRB already placed an order?
It does look as though it needs a few UCS
If Airbus really want to get innovative with large scale passenger transport perhaps the HAV is the way to go.
