Yes, they claim flights will be significantly cheaper, by about 30%, with 50% more passengers. But, at what cost in comfort? Also, when they implement this, I'll bet the savings aren't actually 30%.

I'm not sure where you're going with this. But, yes, by the picture, there appears to be no storage for carry on luggage, which is the exact opposite of what a short flight would need. However, the family visiting g'ma for a week will have several large bags and will check them. But, on short flights there are more people who have less bags, smaller bags or no bags at all.

That's a different concept from the other picture that I posted. I can't imagine that commuters would gravitate towards this design. The article also suggests and area for standing in the back of the aircraft like a city bus.

Can you imagine being stuck on the tarmac for 4 hours in one of those goddamn things? Good lord.

This has as much chance of being viable as the 'Spruce Goose'.

I'd take off all my clothes so they had to remove me from the plane.
