Futuristic 'Flying-V' airplane makes successful maiden flight

Experts tested a 22.5 kg and 3-meter scale model of the futuristic airplane

Well that’s a misleading news article title.

I believe this is a joke. That looks like a gamers modded plane from grand theft auto 5

Don’t think it’s a joke. Flying wings have been around for a long time, and are very efficient. A Flying V just looks like a more modern refined version.

Was thinking about the seating arrangements...won't they be flying broadside? That will be weird.

Downside is the further you get from the centre axis the more you move up and down as the plane flies and rocks meaning lots of people would get motion sickness.

Also, reading the headline I got pumped for a cool guitar.
