interesting?....   i could actually see that being used one day.  Just one more way of technology taking away jobs. much smaller crew to operate that plane than a 50 man cargo ship

The newer super tankers and container ships operate with a crew of 10 or less. They haul way more cargo than the plane but can't do it at 300 mph.
