If you're going to incorporate fixed vectored thrust nozzles, could I suggested that they be fixed in the straight and level position? It looks expensive and complex, if it were real. As a fantasy model, I still like it.

Are you going to include landing gear with this model?

It would be interesting to see how airports might need to modify gate arrangements to accomodate air taxi control safety with such extra large aircraft if they were real. The folding wings are a definate must. Can we also see how your Sonic Cruiser would look with the wings folded, when you have time?
