Looks OK to me.



Id fly on it, if it weren't for these.



Look how skinny those arm rests are. Why cant they make the seats 4 inches wider? And if you sit in the middle you could be forced to have your arms crossed the whole flight.
Good thing those prop jets don't usually go on long flights.

I would prefer to fly like this.

Look how much more room the seating on the bulkhead has than those palletized airline seats in the middle.

I was gonna say, that container in the middle looks like it would hold about 4 cruise missiles but that kind of cargo makes the flight PAX prohibitive.

This was from SFO earlier this year during their Air Show week.

The 747 was inbound from Frankfurt (a friend of Stella & mine was at the controls) and the Blue Angels were landing on the next runway over.

Someone snapped this photo and posted it on United's FB page.

Its hard to believe something that big can stay in the air.
The wing is about  5,600 square feet or 67,000 Square inches. If you develop a 10psi differential over the wing, that's 670,000 pounds of force lifting or sucking on that wing.

What did I miscalculate?

Ive been known to do it before. it seems right to me though.

OIC I got a figure of 5,600 square feet from the interwebs for the wing. That actually come out to 806,400 square inches not 67,000.
That's why I'm not an engineer.  Grin

But anyway 10PSI over that many square inches is a lot more than the plane needs to get off the ground. so the 747-400ER max takeoff weight is  910,000 lbs so a mere 1.5 psi differential would do it.
