Not about airliners, but anyway
But anyway, here it is. The US Defence Dept has bought a planeload of jets from a consortium that includes both US and Euro planemakers. Big deal? Well apparently it's caused a stink: they should've bought the all-American Boeing plane. Yeah, right. As this B-NET blogger points out, Boeing ain't so pure 100% U S of A as you'd imagine, not when it sub-contracts work all over the globe... (mind you, it's still a US corporation, not a consortium). Gets my vote as non-issue of the week.

Boeing's blended wing
Flying wings - no bodies, no tailplane, just a wing - are hardly new, but this interesting Boeing/NASA concept blends wing and fuselage with multiple control surfaces - and may actually lead somewhere. Or not, as the case may be ;-)
