intriguing.
i like the placement of those 3 giant turbofans above and at the rear of the aircraft. it should make for a quieter cabin and it also decreases the chances of sucking runway/tarmac debris into and engine. i think it would also likely decrease bird/engine strikes as well.
and the multiple passenger sections/aisles seem like they would aid circulation during boarding/deplaning.
the biggest drawback looks like no more window seats. i love window seats.
