I realize it's not meant to be a passenger plane...but if given the chance, would you fly on it?

Me...Hell No!

Oh hell yeah. Would love to get to jump out of it.

I have no idea why, but when I saw this post it made me think of this. Weird I know.

Half a wing to hold two planes together?

No thanks. The torsion that could be created by two separate tails could easily twist the center wing and fatigue it to failure.

Does have like 1% resemblance of the p-38 lightening.

I'm surprised they engineered it like that as well. Thought maybe the tails would be tied together like the P38.

It's all composite so maybe that's more forgiving than conventional construction?
