Well - here we are. Perhaps what was "under the sheet" was part of the risk reduction projects that have been going on the last few years, or just the full-up design NG initially provided? Gates was pretty practical - we need an aircraft, the wing works, we have the electronics, build it for a reasonable price. Perhaps this is what we'll get. To be sure it is a "rendition". Maybe they haven't finished the analysis of what level of detail they can release.Are there any advantages to the "wing" vs "cranked-kite"? Is it possible that NG has "learned" more about how to optimize the wing such that that cranked-kite isn't desirable for performance envelope of this plane?Do we know how many planes will be part of the EMD process? Is it two, four?
