I have been looking at how we build our larger aircrafts. Not a lot has changed, technology and materials are what is showing the overall alterations in their construction. The main focus is now on the way we carry passengers and cargo, and what it will cost.
Following Virgin’s plans for a space plane, and the emergence of more economic flying machines, some say that the age of the super jumbo is about to end. When Airbus released the A380, a goliath by even an architect’s standards, they were sure that it was the future. When you see one of these leviathans, it is quite astounding. It begs the questions of, how can it possibly fly?
With all of this in mind, I was thinking about the technological issue of getting more than 250 people into the air. Often squeezed in like sardines, it isn’t too far from the old ideas about a ‘Golden Air travel’ in the 20s and 30s.
‘What is your theory?’ I hear you shout, well, what if instead of up, we go across its width? With 15+ meter wide strips given on smaller air fields, we could think about a multi-fuselage ideology. I am certainly not saying that this idea wont have been thought of before, but have they considered a ‘wide’ jumbo?
This all came to me many years ago, and little remains of the first concepts I crafted.
I had purchased two polystyrene aeroplanes from Poundland (the £ equivalent of a $ store), my plan is to connect the two fuselages together and see what difference it makes; if we were to change anything, what do you think might happen?
This is just a theory and thought that I wanted to add to posts. Stay sharp.
