Who wants a 1950s Giant of the skies?? AWS does!


Bristol Type 167 Brabazon

Summary: The Bristol "Brabazon" was an aircraft developed by Bristol in the early 1950s. Envisioned as a Trans-Atlantic luxury airliner, the aircraft was massive for the time. The aircraft's size and theoretical max capacity would have been comparable to a modern day heavy long hauler. Designed around a 100 seat luxury interior, the aircraft's questionable economics and lack of interest from airlines proved to be too much for this giant of the skies. The project was abandon in July 1953. Scrapped three months later in October of the same year.

I don't think AWS system allow that but a way to do that would be provide a cabin floor area sufficient to install 100 luxury seat and then cap the exit limit
edit: actuallly, screw luxury seat, the description sound like an open suite for everyone

Yeah, some interesting ideas for this aircraft. But, considering how GW2 played out in the 1950s, Im sure the production line would have been full for a few years. "Damn, missed out on the 707 launch, but at least I got a couple of Brabazons coming in to hold me over."
