A wing and a prayer

The Dutch airline KLM aims to make the future of air travel eco-friendly by building a plane with no fuselage.  Instead, according to the Association of Mature American Citizens [AMAC], passengers will be seated inside V-shaped wings.  KLM would use the Delft University of Technology’s Flying-V concept to execute its vision.  The designers at Delft say the new configuration will enhance the airliner’s lift and significantly reduce drag.  As one online observer put it: “This gives middle seat a whole new meaning.”
