The 747 offered #BOAC a far more comfortable, roomy, and luxurious option compared to the narrow-body Vickers VC10. It also had a capacity that was more than double that of the VC10 or the Boeing 707. Did you ever fly on a BOAC 747? #WidebodyAV #avgeek This tweet was posted on November 26, 2019.

The Boeing 747, which was first flown in 1969 and launched into service in 1970 by Pan American World Airways, revolutionized long-distance commercial air travel and set a completely new standard in airliner design, the “widebody” or “jumbojet.” Not to be left behind in the widebody market, aircraft manufacturers McDonnell Douglas and Lockheed Aircraft followed with their own widebody airliners, the DC-10 and L-1011 TriStar.

The DC-10 had a feeling of cabin spaciousness though it was smaller than the 747. It was also designed to be used at airports that could not handle the demands of the 747 and thus open up #widebody operations more broadly. #WidebodyAV This tweet was posted on October 02, 2019.

The DC-10 was #McDonnellDouglas’ answer to #Boeing’s #widebody 747 #jumbojet. The aircraft had a slightly smaller capacity of up to 400 passengers, yet offered similar wide-body spaciousness and comfort to the #747. #AviationEvolutions #avgeek This tweet was posted on June 20, 2018.
