Default Cute 747!!!
I found this on A.net ... look at this funny proposal for a 747-300 ... YIKES!!!

Glad they went the "SP" route instead ...

It almost looks "tail-heavy" in that the plane wouldn't be able to be balanced like that on its main gear!

It's almost HARD to believe that Boeing would even CONSIDER something like that ... to spend all the TIME and RE$OURCE$ to design something so FUGLY!!!

If they did design this as a probable next modern trijet, you really think they would care about it being ugly or beautiful ?
