How much would something like this cheapen flight tickets? you could fit a lot more people for a lot cheaper in the same footprint as much smaller capacity planes. the whole plane is wing, and the whole wing is passenger space for maximum capacity
of course, it would only make sense for extremely popular flight routes that could actually fill the plane. there would also be increased demand due to the low cost
imagine it had a similar size footprint to a 747. how much would it cost to go between los angeles and san francisco? $20?
