personally I dont like it 840 people maximum capacity with using double decks. Just sounds a bit much to me personally. They think tipical capicity is going to be a bit over 550. Honestly speaking they might garner great ecconomies of scale here but more people dying at once if it splatters is not a good prospect.

if someone can give a link or parameters of airbus/boeing side by side so we could judge em easier and maybe even a russian passanger plane like the il or tu heh. The new ones 7e7/a380. PLZ do so

You are right Eluminate, one crash and the company goes bankrupt.

Hehe... the BBC has sciforum comments:Something that big should have more engines - eight at least, and more wings. I would prefer it to be a bi-plane.
