Your Google searches make for a very important point, Frank. I don't see one picture of a real aircraft. Lots of models and computer renderings.
I started to think of modern design and realized that even the most celebrated modern designer, Burt Rutan, has/had not one certified production aircraft to his name (exception being influence of the beautiful but failed Beech Starship). This means a lot for design advancement but something big is missing for mass production certified aircraft. Physics, materials, and money probably have something to do with it.
I hate being a skeptic on this topic since aviation is my main passion but reality rules. I do hope some one breaks the trend.
