A little humor

[petcalledros]

Airbus decided that the new airbus A380 wasn't big enough so they decided to make a new model

[Unbornio]

That is humor?

That is so wrong... it looks like a cruise ship... or a flying whale

[Jps]

Just add a couple of rockets here and there, and you got a spaceship with enough paying passengers to pay for the fuel...

I have always liked the 'turbo-DC':

here's the base model: http://www.cardatabase.net/modifiedairlinerphotos/search/photo_search.php?id=00000004
and here's the takeoff with afterburners: http://www.cardatabase.net/modifiedairlinerphotos/search/photo_search.php?id=00000673   (this photo actually made it to Finnair's DC-9 pilots bulletin board at their ops center)

I's love to see the insurance payout when one of these crash.

In reality though, it would be more profitable to send 5 772s for the job.

I's love to see the insurance payout when one of these crash.

And i'd like to see the receipt for this thing! I bet it will cost no less than 1 billion lol

Finnair has also made some plans for future aircraft:

[Doa]

actualy no joke but it has been considered in the 90's
here's a screenshot from the an225 doc "Discovery Superstructures Antonov 225"
it could transport up to 1500 persons in economy class

[thedr2]

That idea didn't even reach the drawing board though. Antonov laughed it off as a ridiculous suggetion (it wasn't theirs).
