B797 to have more seats than A380???

http://www.newtechspy.com/articles06/boeing797.html

Now this for me looks familiar to the Boeing cruiser they were making.

Any thoughts

IMHO it look's nothing like it Sonic cruiser, the design has been around along time: link

It took airbus ages to get the a380 off the ground so I doubt airbus is worrying yet about this planned boeing!!

Does anyone know how reliable this source is?

Boeing have spent ages saying that there is now only a very limited demand for ultra high capacity aircraft and say that pax want point top point routes i.e. not having to go through hubs!?

The source is good,NASA has been working on this for years.

Northrop really started it all with the YB-35 and YB-49 bombers for the USAF.

Take a look [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flying_wing] here for more info on flying wings.

well ive seen that design somewhere before dont know where then:D
