Cool? Not cool?

Okay I jest a little, I 99% think that thing is very cool.

But... an aircraft longer than a 737-100 that carries only what... one passenger? Oddly the article doesn't discuss it, but I bet it doesn't even have space for carryon luggage. :mrgreen:

You say it like it was bad... A lot less passengers terrorized/killed per flight and way faster evacuations :clap: :clap: :clap:

No front window.

That bothers me more than it should.

Note to self: invent an ejection seat with a built-in compartment for carryon luggage, so the passenger doesn't suffer an existential crisis if they need to make a decision whether to evacuate (the airplane).
