Are giant seaplanes the future of flight? Blended wing design can carry 2,000 passengers at once - without the need for an airport | Daily Mail Online: "Seaplanes could be the future of flight, it has been claimed.

The seaplane has a ‘blended wing body’ configuration, where its hull slopes upwards to blend seamlessly into the underside of the aircrafts’ wide wings, reducing drag.

Experts have revealed a radical 'single wing' seaplane that could carry upto 2,000 passengers. It would help ease pressure on airports and also allow the use of eco fuels - all without the need to build new airports."
