The Los Angeles Times reported that BOEING  engineers are working on an 800-seat airliner with wings that blend smoothly into the fuselage instead of protruding from its sides. The so-called blended wing-body aircraft would fly at the same speed and altitude as a 416-seat Boeing 747-400, but it would use 25% less fuel and generate less noise, . Unlike other airline jets, the proposed Boeing jet would not have a traditional fuselage or tail with fins. Passengers would be seated in two decks, and since most would not be seated near a window, the backs  of each seat would have a video monitor providing a view of the outside. http://www.boeing.com
