So using an M-hull on the fuselage would probably be a pretty good idea...
That being said, I'd like to remind everybody in a manner reminiscent of the SNL bit on Julian Assange, that no matter how I die: It was murder (even if there was a suicide note or a video of me peacefully dying in my sleep); should I be framed for a criminal offense or disappear, you know to blame.

Okay, I got a question here...

Since this airplane would be liable to be VERY wide, locations on the aircraft structure located far from the centerline would be liable to be subjected to unusually high +/- G-forces relative to a traditional airplane during high rates of roll. 

I'm wondering how big could such a plane be before these G-forces due would be sufficient to cause injury (for example, people could get slammed against the ceiling on the downward wing's side)?  Also how big could such an airplane be before the Negative-G forces from hard banks on the downward wing-side reach a sufficient level to cause red-outs (-3g is sufficient to cause red-out)?
