Airbus Working On Invisible Plane For Future

[bri]

I guess their definition of invisible is much different from mine. I don't understand the concept or see a need for it, but I am no scientist. There is also a link on this article to go to the Airbus site that has pictures and more details.

That would freak the shit out of me. It would be like there was no outside of the plane for the people in the plane. That would be very unnerving.

Planes haven't changed much since they've been around. Design wise. I don't see this working out. Looks to unsafe.

I laugh every time these companies come out with these spaceship hybrid planes. Not a chance that ever happens for one very good reason. Airports would literally have to be completely reconfigured for these spaceships. The same reason why the A380 Airbus built has had limited success. Stick with the normal design, seems to be working quite well.

Seems to work quite well? Traveling by plane is just as horrible as it was years ago.

My answer to people who complain about air travel: Enjoy you bus/car/train, I'll be there much faster.

Not as much anymore, and at triple the cost, double the inconvenience and way more finger up the butt...

Not to belittle their ingenuity, but this sounds like shit a 9 year old would come up with.
