  Question #1: Can that machine even fly? I've no knowledge of aerodynamic modelling, but with engines mounted at the back - how can that machine fly? 😨
  
  Question #2: What's the problem with growth the size of airplane, keeping the shape just as it's at present? Maybe more passenger carrying capacity would mean that they'll need a larger wing-span (and then the airports and runways will have to be redesigned)?

  1. Somewhat like a bat. Aerodynamically this is a validated design. Actually better than the current shape.
  2. What has been achieved is larger wing area with smaller width. This shape has lower drag and better payload/fuel performance. NASA has been developing this for a while now.
  
  I do not know how this will behave in gusting winds and cyclones.

  Winds and cyclones are not such a threat as salt in the wind and locality
  
  But turbulence can easily be withstanded using the existing design of the body of the flight
  
  That would not have been the big challenge here But still tailless flight I am not a mechie to guess it out

  Just in case we didn't already know, this is a hoax:

  However, its still worth to discuss its design implications such as passenger comfort and safety.
  
  I hate to be stuck on a seat with lack of window views 😛

  Another great achievement by the boeing.
  I still ask my little mind how can a small engine can lift a giant like Boeing.
  Still amused by the innovations.Yet to make mine.But I will definitely make mine.
