    What ever happened to those blended wing craft RealEngineering said were gonna kick the old fashioned fuselage’s ass soon?

    Or high speed rail and/or blimps‽

      1. 737s/A320s are cheap and reliable (and blended wing still needs a lot of R&D)
      2. The U.S. govt. doesn’t want to pay for high speed rail, and it is worse for long distances or crossing bodies of water
      3. Blimps are slow and expensive
