Now this is the type of progress I love! Aerospace is on the right track for once! I hope you suceed in your endeavor Mr. European space Agency! America should look at you for inspiration.

the wing design looks like a copy from the Myasishchyev M-50 "Bounder"

And I have to wonder if it's really of that size compared to the A380, the wings looks a bit small and somewhat too much at the back of the plane... well, I'm no expert on aerodynamics, but it really doesn't look like it'd fly well...

Based on the wing structure, I'd imagine that they're looking at this like an F-104.

Built for speed between places rather than maneuverability.

Very early stages.

Yep. I have little faith in the Europeans to put it together, but I hope they do. The world needs projects like this.

I suppose it's not a good sign that the design for that plane reminds me of the ol' "Fireflash" passenger jet of doom, from Thunderbirds.

The Starfighter also crossed my mind when seeing the CG pic
