Stumbled upon this photo today, and have never heard of the concept before. It's certainly unique!

Saw that picture on A.net last night. It is pretty cool technology.

That distorted photo is misleading. I'm not a great advocate of fisheye effects either in RL or FS. This one shows what it really looks like. http://www.airliners.net/photo/Dassault-Falcon-50/1749948/L/

I know. When I saw the first one last night I was like, "What the...." Then I looked at your picture a few minutes later and was like, "oh okay."

It kind of looks like they forgot to bolt something to the airframe in those compartments when the aircraft left the factory 

"Excuse me, boss, but where are these fuel pods supposed to go?"  8-)

I wonder how much difference they actually make. Looks more drag inducing then anything.

[color=#000000]I know I'm going to catch it for this, but I have to ask. Do they have little bottles of liquid soap attched to create bubbles?
