Blech. It looks like they took away most of the cool looking shapes that made the 7E7 concept so intersting...

Compare that boring tub to this...

They all look alike, and now the Yawn-liner looks like one of them too. At least the concept had some cool shapes like the nose and tail and a different windscreen design to set it apart from any of the post 1970s planes.

Nobody hasn't build truly innovative airliner since Airbus with its fly-by-wire or Concorde with its supersonic cruise.
