Default What the ... an A370???

Found this on A.net ... looks "out there" if you ask me ... why do they even waste their time figuring these things out?

I think they'd be better off sticking four engines on the wings before they did the tri-holer concept ... no wonder they're losing money ... they're burning up their ca$h drawing impractical concepts!

The dual tail fins reminds me of that "Mriya" AN225's.

I'm almost positive that it's a fake. You can see that the white letters on the tail are not the same as on all the other aircraft. I bet someone added that one in.

And also, you can see that a section of the fuselage is clearly just copied and added in to make the plane slightly longer. The rear engine is also just a poorly cropped copy of the engine on the wing.

Oh c'mon, it has to be a fake, and if it was coming from Boeing everybody would jump around screaming how brilliant it is !...

Looks like a 5 year old kid edited this picture in paint! Look at the enginge, you can still see that it is copied from the fuselage on the intake, not to comment the tail at all... C'mon!

WTF what a weird looking plane. I thought the A370 was going to be a 2 engine A380.

The downward slope of the fuelage at the tail area reminds me of Boeing. Airbus' tails dont slope downwards. Compare the tails of the 767 and any other airbus plane.
