I finished this concept for a long range 4 seater, and I would like to push the design further, and even, maybe, one day build it.
I know a bit about aircraft design, but I am not an engineer and not very good yet with computers as a design tool. I would greatly appreciate comments, help and suggestions.
I have a million questions ready to fire, so here are the first three:

My wing is flying at 3 million reynolds, do you think that it is leaving pure laminar flow regime, and does it makes sense to use a laminar flow wing?

I am planing to make this aircraft as silent as possible, any suggestions?

I would like to use the long AR wing for range and economy, Is there any drawback from it other than structural, (Stall, behavior, passenger comfort.)

Best regards everyone, great forums!
