Gotta love the huge flying wings with windows in their leading edges. They must have solved the bird-strike problems.

You just need really BIG engine intakes with the slice'n'dice options that can suck those birds away from the leading-edge windows before they become a window impact problem.

Plus IIRC they anticipated a much low cruising speed than we accept, I seem to remember seeing a cover for one mag which showed people playing tennis on top of the wings of one of those things... while it was flying!

Bring back airships!
