Hope it hasn't been posted before. I can't remember what I had for breakfast.

Yeah, that QSST makes me drool with envy........ but that project has been in the works for so long, and with record high oil prices, I wouldn't be holding my breath waiting to see one.

Here's what WILL be built and offered in the years to come:

Nothing revolutionary, just bigger, faster, and slightly more efficient. Baby steps, baby steps.........

The Columbus' Cabin is huge! It'll definitely be a great plane to fly but with the recession in full swing as well as the higher prices in gasoline, I think that the next fractional aircraft will have to be economical in both the wallet and consumption of fuel. I'm hearing a lot lately about Boeing and Airbus testing out the new fuels, but there isn't new news on the engines that the frax carriers use in terms of being more fuel efficient.

Here's the cabin comparison between the X and the Columbus!
