There's still hope for a new era of Jumbo's, remember, we may not have the problem of limited airport capacity anymore, but now we got an international pilot shortage, meaning in a few years, we might have to use Bigger planes again.
@@sendkaul i guess the b777 9, a350 1000 would be the new era jumbo jet tbh And nowadays jet engines are more reliable than before, so 2 engines would be enough
The Airbus A380 is such an iconic plane, sadly it's only getting less popular every day. It's currently th world largest plane an passenger plane. Maybe not as iconic as the B747 but when it does get scrapped, it will truly forever be in our hearts.
I've been on a Thai Airways 747 when I was younger (actually only like 2-3 yrs old) so sadly I don't remember much, but I would remember my grandparents tell me about how big the plane was and how it had 2 floors. (I think we were also on the top floor) btw I didn't just see this video after one year, I just saw this in my recommendations
Yeah, the A380 was an amazing aircraft, but with not many airlines using them, the cost of them, it would have still died. I didn't expect to come to an end to early on in its life.
Everyone is trying to "go green" nowadays and I believe that airliners are becoming increasingly unpopular amoung eco friendly companies and organizations, and like you mentioned they are using up more fuel, can't go as far, and due to the pandemic they are no longer needed. How they might make a fully electric passenger aircraft I will never know.
Yeah not really sure how, did some research and the massive amount of torque needed and the amount of batteries needed. It would really be a amazing engineering feat to get regular sized electric planes efficient and affordable, and same thing with ships. Nevermind double decker planes, the time we figure that out will be the find a perpetual motion.
It is sad to see the jumbo jets go away, I think the best thing to do is for more efficient and powerful engines so the jumbo jets can possibly have two engines or more efficient quad engines
Smaller planes, more gates and equipment needed. More pain of managing an airport. Delays, cancellations.. You've got the point. One big aircraft, means a lot of passengers and cargo. There are a lot of efficient widebodies today.
The Boeing 747 and Airbus A380 might come back and might have chance of revival, but in a redesigned form in the future. Maybe an electric or hydrogen version of it.
Aight so my two cents on the death of the Jumbo Jet (and this is gonna be lengthy so patience is advised): When I was in primary, sometime around 10 or so years ago (I'm in college now by the way), I loved aircraft to death. Still do, actually - that deep-harboured passion is why I'm writing this lengthy post. For hours I'd read books about these fantastic machines in primary, and when the book content ran out, I went online, looking for more content on these incredible beasts. There's something magnificent, in my mind, about seeing these several-dozen or even several hundred tonne machines scream over your head, carrying hundreds of people for business, for holiday, for family visits, for many things. It still blows my mind to this day that we, through the humble airliner, can travel anywhere on the globe within 24 hours, for whatever purpose that might be required. Now, to the 747. The plane, for me, was a constant throughout my early years. It was a dream for me to fly one of these older-gen machines - now that I think of it, I'd especially want to fly a -200 - since it embodied everything that a plane was, in my mind. Massive, long-range, graceful, a challenge and a rewarding machine, with a strange, quaint charm and familiarity to it. It is, and there's no other way to put it, an ambassador for the aviation industry - you're asked to imagine a plane, and the 74 is the first thing that comes up. The 747 *_is_* the humble airliner, in my mind, and nothing can change that. Needless to say, I find the retirement of the 747 to be a saddening affair. Sure, lessons have been learnt, we have built new, superior, more efficient machines, but if you look at them, none of them have that charm of a 747. All of them feel like identical cookie-cutter templates - narrow or wide-body, all of them nowadays are two-engines-slung-under-the-wing designs, and with the introduction of the 737 MAX and A320neo, they are starting to sound the same. I wouldn't be surprised if, in the next 10 years, planes will sound so similar that even avgeeks would struggle to recognise them by the ear. So for me, the 747 symbolises something more than just an airliner - it symbolises the peak of aviation and, by that extension, the peak of humanity, roughly between the 1970s-2000s - when everything was carefree, people did what they wanted, and even when the carefree nature ended, there still was plenty of things to gawk at with a childlike wonder because people still were creative with what they made. Nowadays, everything feels sterile, cookie-cutter and identical. There's no real creativity in designs no matter how you slice it - you can tell that the 747 was made to be several things at once, and so did the early-gen 737s and DC-9s, and for the latter, also the later MD-80s and 90s. So, to sum up, by losing the 747 we are losing not just an airliner, but we are losing a symbol of what flying is, at least for me - prestigious, beautiful, something that makes you stop and, once again, fill you with a childlike wonder. Now, honestly, flying hasn't been prestigious or what have you since at least 2001, but at least the old designs reminded you of a better time. With all these designs disappearing, the memory of the better times goes too. I'm hardly surprised people yearn for the return to the '80s and '90s with flying - it genuinely seemed fun to be a passenger to me, back in those days. Sure, you had to deal with the smell of burnt fags, shitty airport terminals and what have you, but if I'm being honest I'd brave it just so I can fly how they did back then - carefree, full of wonder and awe, and, most importantly joy. It reminds me of a track that I found on Electronic Gems' channel, which honestly sums up how I imagine flying back in the day. Here is the said music track: th-cam.com/video/gGUsNwXfoUU/w-d-xo.html
I honestly agree with your “carefree era” idea. I wasn’t even alive at the time, but from what I’ve heard, it almost does sound like a peak of humanity. Very well written essay A++ for you my friend.
I do love these planes and it is sad to seem them go, but I am gold that people are trying to make fuel efficient planes, it saves gas which is very expensive in todays world.
Not really. Aircraft Carriers got bigger, destroyers got bigger, frigates got bigger, submarines got bigger. All these ships got larger as time passed. But the ships that used to be the largest, Battleships and Cruisers are pretty much gone now.
Due to the 2020 Corona Virus pandemic, the big aircrafts (jumbo jets or super - jumbo jets) like the A380 and B747 had their lifespan cut off to just a short span of life. The reason of retiring or stop making these aircrafts could be the cost, building these such aircrafts require a lot of money it could be millions or billions depending the the size and the cost of parts. Nowadays, the big sized - jumbo jets are currently not being used enough due to its cost that the company's ceo has to buy, same with the aircraft manufactures ceo, so these aircraft makers and airline ceo's have choosen to build smaller and more long lasting fuel efficient aircrafts such as the A321neo and the A220. They do this in order to prevent bankruptcy. I hope you liked my comment and agree with me. Thank you.
If in the future people fly airplane MORE and MORE than they do now, then it is possible that the "Jumbo Jet" era will return but I suspect they will be more like the Boeing 777X family and Airbus A350-1000 family (like A350-2000's project) rather than double deckers like the Boeing 747 and Airbus A380 but yeah if Airbus and Boeing still come back to Airbus A380 and Boeing 747 or make double deckers planes, we'll have Boeing 747-9I even 747-10I and 747X (is the Boeing 747 have completed double deckers or Boeing revive Boeing 763-246C NLA project) and Airbus A380-900 and A380-1000 (if this happen)
We'll I got an idea (and have made a few technical drawings because i have toon much spare time) for a 160 meter long behemoth flying aircraft carrier, so perhaps that might change.
SO the 747 was initially built for US Military cargo purposes, and so it had tough competition against Lockheed for the contract Then they made tons off the passenger 747s and now it's dying The Lockheed Martin plane was the C-5 Galaxy, which is bound to fly till 2040 Moral of story: No matter the brand, Bombardier (in it's A220/C Series saga) or McDonnell Douglas (717 sales), Boeing always makes idiotic moves to be loser (Now, take this as a joke, not as a serious accusation)
Maybe it is the time that we have to make a380 with only 2 engine or b747 with 2 engines (just kidding) But plane engineers have to think some ideas to make a huge plane less drag and fuel efficiency New materials, new designs etc... Some comments said flying wing, i think that would be a good idea for cargos And blended wing body plane would be a better idea for the passenger plane.. Still, these designs have problems: the pressure. Planes have to increase the pressure to let passage breath, the design of the cabin decided how many times the plane can take off, round cab would be the best shape of withstanding force, so that's why most of the planes use round shape for the cabin. And flying wing/blended wing body is not round, they are not good at withstanding pressure, so mostly the enterprises wouldn't choose this design, unless there is a kind of material that it is stronger, lighter and cheaper...
Year 2075: this is the new airbus a390 the world biggest plane before 2045 with a massive capacity of 8 seats and a max vellcity of 225 knots is the new largest,biggest and faster plane in 30 years
Flying wing aircraft would be hard to be a passenger plane, military/ cargo lift would be more suitable for them. Since the design of the flying wing is hard to make enough windows and exits for the passenger, cargo lifting and military usage like the b2 would be more necessary
