The race of making the biggest aircraft has been a journey of innovation and ambition, driven by the need to carry more passengers and improve efficiency. Starting with large flying boats after World War II, manufacturers like Boeing and Airbus pushed the limits of aircraft size. Boeing's 747, launched in the 1970s, set new standards for commercial aviation, but as fuel efficiency became more important, the economics of such large planes were questioned. Airbus responded with the A380 in the 2000s, offering even more capacity. Despite their impressive size, these super jumbos face challenges with high operating costs. So, how long will the race continue? And how big are the aircraft going to be? https://lnkd.in/gejgtVMH

The Garmin G1000NXi with Emergency Autoland is a game changer for aviation safety.

😅 #MondayFunnies: Ever heard of the time our founder Rasmus Cornelius, a seasoned pilot, was cruising Europe’s skies in his trusty Pilatus Aircraft Ltd PC-12? ATC had to ask a tailing jet to ease off the throttle because they were catching up too fast. Rasmus’ co-pilot humorously radioed, "We’re pushing it to the max!" To which ATC, with a cheeky grin in her voice, replied, "Sometimes, faster isn’t better." 🛩️💨 It’s a reminder that, just like in flying, GoOllie values quality over quantity. We're here to streamline your bookings with quality requests, not just speed through them.

Do private jets always come with cabin crew & where do they sit?🤔 Private jets with under 19 seats do not require cabin crew, but larger jets with over 19 seats must have one crew member for every 50 passenger seats. 🛩 Very light jets like the Embraer Phenom 100 or Learjet 31 do not have cabin crew or room for a crew seat, and are limited to short flights.✈️ Different jet sizes, from mid-size to ultra long-range heavy jets, may have varying numbers of cabin crew and different seating arrangements, depending on the aircraft type and configuration. ☺️☝️ Have a question? 📲+372 5677 7210 📩sales@kulljet.aero #cabincrew #privatejet

𝗠𝗮𝗴𝗶𝗰 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗔𝗶𝗿 She has been dubbed the “Queen of the Skies” as she would turn heads wherever she would go. While #Boeing is in the news these days for all the wrong reasons, it was Boeing that introduced the stunning 747 (Queen of the Skies) to the world on this day 54 years ago. Easily one of the most recognisable planes in the sky, the jumbo was cutting edge. It carried more than twice as many passengers as Boeing’s next largest plane and was more fuel-efficient, reducing the cost per seat and opening up the world to jet travel. Here's some fascinating trivia about Boeing 747, that will give you an insight into why this plane has ruled the skies for so long: ✈️ Over the years of service, the 747 has flown more than 3.5 billion people! ✈️ The 747 once carried 1,087 people at once! ✈️ There are 365 switches, dials, and lights in the incredibly confusing cockpit. ✈️ Due to its unique double-decker layout, some passengers are closer to the front than even the pilots! ✈️ The Boeing 747 first flew in February 1969, five months before Apollo 11 landed on the moon. ✈️ The Wright brothers could have easily fit their historic first flight inside a 747! ✈️ The 747 has a wing sweep of 37.5 degrees - more than any other commercial aircraft in the world. Actor and 747 pilot John Travolta summed it up beautifully when he said "𝙏𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚’𝙨 𝙣𝙤𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙡𝙞𝙠𝙚 𝙨𝙚𝙚𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙖 747 𝙩𝙖𝙠𝙚 𝙛𝙡𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩 𝙩𝙤 𝙧𝙚𝙢𝙞𝙣𝙙 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚’𝙨 𝙖𝙡𝙨𝙤 𝙢𝙖𝙜𝙞𝙘 𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚" 747 has slowly been phased out, giving way to other, newer models but #history has some great lessons for humanity. #Innovation

Christmas throwback: Autocar's Concorde 'road test' https://lnkd.in/daDPZ_bq Just over 20 years ago, Concorde completed its final flight. To celebrate, we're looking back to our 2003 Christmas road test. When it comes to driving in a straight line, few men have had so many short-lived, high-acceleration journeys, all planned to end abruptly at 240mph without sustaining injury. Such has been the preserve of that small band of chaps (and one chap-ess) whose privilege it was to drive a 185-tonne, 10-wheeled, three-legged skateboard down the tarmac's centre-line. The wonder of Concorde is that no one on board notices when - without a murmur or ripple - it accelerates through the sound barrier, past the 1000mph mark, to its supersonic cruise speed of 1350mph. Only the display panel tells the paying public what's happening In addition to the mph and Mach number. On the flight deck, the crew has all the usual aircraft instruments, plus a few more one would only expect to find in a military fighter. (Incidentally, just like the original Mini, there's a simple button for the starter.) In common with cars, Concorde is also missing the controls for airbrakes and flaps, neither of which are fitted to the supersonic aircraft. The complete wing structure (save where the wheels sit) is a fuel vessel. There are also two big under-floor fuel tanks and another one in the pointed tail cone. The modern Airbus is often credited with being the first fly-by-wire airliner. Not so. Concorde beat Airbus by 20 years. It sports fly-by-wire technology for the flying controls and the throttles.
