The main problem is a) one of material, and b) one of material.
If we can have moulds CNC'ed rather than patterns: great! They can go in the autoclave! For obvious reasons, I am NOT putting wood in an autoclave. That's asking for trouble.
Because it's a blended wing and body, the centre of lift and centre of gravity MUST match up. Because it hasn't got a horizontal stabiliser, trimming is minimal, if not non-existent. If the wing is not bang on our calculations, well, we're in the shit.
