Default Revolutionary new plane

Both of those "concepts" show complete ignorance of aerodynamics. Reminds me of my
grandmother who wanted to tell the pilot to fly low and slow, for safety. There are very good
reasons modern aircraft are all mono-planes turbofans that fly at very high altitudes. They are both
more energy efficient and safer. Why would anyone want an airplane that has to follow a track?
