However, it seems a retrograde step when compared with the streamlined design on the aircraft as originally rolled out (lower part of the picture). Anyone know why the change was made? I'm not convinced there is a difference - looks more like different perspectives of the same shape. The factory shot sideview doesn't show the width of the more-or-less constant cross-section of the dome. |
