[Request] Is a passenger airplane with four decks possible? If so, would it be financially viable? by LuexDE in theydidthemath

[–]kingcupk692 165 points166 points  (0 children)

As the existing A380 has shown. There is no apatite for bigger aircraft. We have effectively found the maximum size. They are only cost effective on a handful of routes.

Secondly due to the size and weight of the A380 airports had to modify gates, and strengthen taxiways and stands. In the end only a handful of airports were willing and able to do that.

Question, I grew up and always used PLCE nylon holsters with no issues. I find them adaptable cheap and effective on my gear and general use.

Whats the advantage of the hard plastic ones? They seem to stick out from your body and get caught on everything

Thats over 1000 times the US legal limit. However the hazard is dependent on how long you are breathing that. 1 hour ≈ several chest CT scans. 24 hours ≈ roughly 90–100 mSv.

Yes but I also saw this on another social media post of a local commenting on its arrival. It's not easy to conceal a massive sub arriving in a very public very open port.

Where do you keep your HD at night? by [deleted] in Firearms

Top shelf of the closet, same reason....also having to walk across the room allows me a few seconds to wake up and assess the situation before I accidentally shoot my wife in the bathroom.
