I saw pics of this remarkable aircraft on the news today, besides the amazing carbon-fiber and plastic airframe, the interior is extremely cool! It has bigger windows that instantly darken (LCD technology) more legroom, oversize carry-on cabinets, its much lighter than other planes and gets excellent fuel savings at the same time it operates quieter. Even the pilots get better views and the avionics are state-of-the-art!
Man... I'd sure like to fly one of those babies!:-2

The flight deck look very Star Treky. Wonder how long all the legroom will last once the airlines get their hands on them..

Ooooh, it is really an extremely beautiful aircraft. Looks so cool.
Hmmm, I guess it is already flying in the sky now.
