    Which is why I'm a little surprised a commercial plane using the layout hasn't been used. I thought flying wings were supposed to be more efficient. Are they not compatiable with existing airports?

    Excuse my engineering ignorance, but the body design, two fuselages, what appears to be two cockpits, and a single shared wing, reminds me of a Potato Sack Race.
    But whatever works.
