If those dots are windows then they're really large engines!
Is this really a Pacific Aerospace conecpt?
You're a little optimistic, I reckon by 2030 we'll be using sailing ships rather than aeroplanes and spacecraft to cross the Pacific.

Engines run on waste fish and chip oil. So 2 fish and i scoop will cost the equvalent of 1 days pay in 2008

A taildragger too no less!
that rear engine thingee on the tail fin looks taped on though - Its more likely a Qantas example... Also not sure about Mach 5 with large exposed fans on the front of the engines.

Are u sure thats not just a Luigi Colani design concept. If Pacific Aerospce was to design a new plane it would be cool if they put a jet engine(not a turbo prop) into a CT4 and turned it into a mini Strikemaster. With the optionial wingtip tanks and strikemaster air intakes on the side it would look pretty mean.
