The #Boeing 747 was 35 feet longer, 10 feet wider inside the cabin than the DC-8 and could carry almost 200 more passengers. #TheMainlineThis tweet was posted on November 07, 2017.
The 1970s was a watershed decade in the development of large-capacity airliners. Pan American World Airways introduced the much-anticipated transoceanic “widebody” Boeing 747 in 1970. #ByTheBookThis tweet was posted on September 03, 2019.
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#avgeekThis tweet was posted on November 26, 2019.

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. #WidebodyAVThis tweet was posted on October 02, 2019.
The McDonnell Douglas DC-10 was initially designed to be operated on transcontinental or regional routes with fewer passengers than the Boeing 747 thus broadening the widebody market to more airlines and a greater proportion of the traveling public. #WidebodyAVThis tweet was posted on December 05, 2019.
