It is finally time to look forward and start planning for the implementation of large aircraft and their surrounding services. While we’re underway with the continued development of multi-floor and catering services, large aircraft stand and more we also need to develop the aircraft that will utilize those features.
Below are the options you have for this round… and there will be several more to come!
“Den som väntar på något gott…”, why skip to the end goal when we can enjoy the ride? Those will for sure come but they’re really not in the same large aircraft class as the 787 and other aircraft mentioned here. There will be more votes!
BUT: The McDonell Douglas MD-80 is not a large aircraft. It is actually the same category as the A320 and B737. I propose to exchange it with an A340-300
Yeah, agreed, for the MD80 we made an exception though as it is kind of big ( ) but mostly due to the fact that we already have acquired high quality engines sounds for the MD80.
Well, since you guys forced the 757 to be a medium plane (I’m still bitter about that), the MD80 could be a medium plane as well, since it’s slightly smaller according to Wikipedia’s spec page.
Although I question if the 787-10 and A350-1000 are large planes or extra large planes…
The MD-80 is NOT a wide body aircraft at all. It’s actually not much bigger than the A321, it just sits lower. It’ll definitely be a medium stand aircraft. It’s smaller than the 757.
The MD-80 is a bit out of place here, I definetly agree. It might be better to replace it with an A330 or A340. Also, I assume that large stands are going to be added? There is no way A350, 787 and 767 would fit in the current medium stands. I would also like to ask what version of A350, 787 and 767 you guys have in mind. Those in the pictures are obviously A350-1000, 787-10 and 767-300. Especially 787-8 and 787-10 are quite different in size.
