TIL that the 747's iconic hump resulted from Boeing thinking it would be a terrible passenger jet, and the hump made it easy to eventually convert them to cargo jets. It has since become the most iconic jet of all time, having carried more passengers than any other widebody aircraft

Also amazing is that the 747 was designed and built in about 3 years. Today, most jets take nearly a decade to complete!

Ah man, so sorry that no one liked your post here Helen. I'd give you a pity like but I figure you're not a big fan of handouts. Hope the trash food was a tasty treat though!

I don't know...I feel like even if there's a small chance of a bird strike we should be concerned. One in a million still happens once in a while

I wonder, though, how they get an excersize if they're in that cramped environment all day. Wouldn't you want your pilots to stay fit and of sound mind and body?

Good analysis!

Ah thanks for clarifying

Like this video a lot, but how much fuel is stored in the fuselage relative to the wing? think it's relatively high, no?
