The passenger pod is, from a structural perspective, a pressure vessel experiencing a fairly high pressure ratio of around 1000. The original

design concept calls for a non-circular pressure vessel which raises some structural design issues. It's possible to design an effective

structure using modern aircraft grade composites technologies, but it's possible that a round cross section could allow for a more
