If you're tired of the run of the mill aircraft, then funk this.

Interesting modifications indeed! And you thought the GE90 engines are huge. The US A320 looks like an aircraft on an unicycle. I think the LX MD-11 would look better if the forward cockpit section were in place of the two engines under the wings, like the KL B772.

The US Airways minijet looks a little like the Me-263 rocket plane from WWII, except for the unicycle gear, which is hilarious. I especially like the KLM, with the cabins slung under the wings...jettison them in midflight in case of engine failure (although that monster engine looks like it could suck in a whole flock of geese and keep on flying.

Monster huge. The US A320 is cute and as gospodin said, it looks like the Me-263 rocket plane. That was the first model I put together as a kid.

Your guess is as good as mine.

Actually, the economy class passengers sit directly behind the fan and forward of the turbine. Early windblast tests have proven successful.

1) Prior to take off.
2) Cruising altitude at 632 mph.
3) Reverse thrusters activated.
