The design of the plane in the 3rd pic is damn cool. The cockpit is at the middle of the plane, while the fuselage is on the sides.

Problem with the stingray looking plane is, how are u going to evacuate everyone out of the aircraft within 90 seconds with only half of the exits operational?

At that kind of cross section, you are probably looking at possibly 12 abreast configuration, with 4 seats in a row that has the furthest access to windows & exits.

Blended Wing Body (BWB) plane is actually a research done by NASA:

Cool story, bro.

All these will never happen simply because it will be impractical once you need to consider squeezing all of them into the 80*80 box.

Concept 1 is the most feasible of the lot, but limited by material and manufacturing processes.

All these are before even considering the usual safety aspects (i.e. treating passengers as disposable cargo/payload for now).

Probably needs to be one heck of a powerhouse. Either that, or some new age super lightweight alloy...
