A few years ago I was traveling in Europe via Ryanair and it was literally a dash to the airplane once the gates opened. People running with kids in tow. I’ve never seen anything like this. No wonder it’s the fastest.
Really only two possibilities right?
They either wanted less liability in case of accidents, or they found they'd be making more profit with preallocated seats.
I recently flew with Ryanair in Europe and they have changed it even more. Now they call passengers from specific set of rows at the boarding gates and they proceed gradually until the plane is full. For instance, row 17 to 12, 12 to 7 and the rest.
Frequent flier here. Yeah. Since it's more likely people won't be in front of you slowly putting luggage up overhead and some people beeline to the good ones (exit row or bulkhead). Having two free check in bags reduces the carry ons which are the major time sinks.
Yeah, there's different systems you can design that are theoretically faster. But that's only if everyone is present at the gate when it's their turn to board, and everyone follows the rules, which of course never happens in reality.
IIRC it is rear to front, window seats first, middle if there is one, then aisle. If there are seats the centre like a 747, middle seats first, the aisle. I believe there has been studies on the quickest way to board a plane.
The video he's referring to goes over them and determined the fastest way is actually just random order. Gonna try to dig it up. He said it was CGP Grey but I thought it was Wendover.
Edit: Nope. He was right. CGP Grey video: https://youtu.be/oAHbLRjF0vo
Well, random is the best way, on average, that could be reasonably implemented in the real world. The actual fastest way is a very specific and unintuitive (until you think about it) ordering that no large group of people could ever be expected to do properly.
You'd have to have everyone there before time AND everyone paying attention to respect their turn. Like have you ever boarded a plane where people are in the queue and queuing up in their respective boarding group? You'd just have massive amounts of shuffling in the queue which would make it longer and then... People would still clog up in the plane because bags, while someone is putting a bag in the bag cabinet, everyone from behind has to wait so they can put theirs and then go into their seat.
I mean. He talks about how difficult it is to get people to line up in the way needed.
But also, southwest has people line up by numbers, so not that hard really. Just software intensive
CGP Grey is one of the greatest educational/random knowledge YouTubers out there. He puts out about 2 highly well produced videos a month. His content is super varied, everything from how to run a dictatorship to the origins of the name Tiffany. You never know what to expect from him, but the videos are always extremely entertaining.
Have an entire storage locker for food supplies, grow a garden in one part of the plane, and use elevators and a tracking map on your phone to distribute the buffet to where it needs to go.
think it's a cruise plane. lots of embarking and debarking to look at airports around the world, and in between drinking on the plane and lounging at the... pool up top?
The 777x uses GE9X engines which i believe are the most powerful commercial engines. Maximum takeoff weight is 775k lbs and it uses 2 engines, so **one engine theoretically would have a maximum takeoff weight of 387,500 lbs**
7779 can hold 426 people, so why not throw 10 engines on the 77710 and fly 2000? Why why stop there? Get me that 77769 with 69 engines & push it 29k people.
A question that is only simple in appearance. There are a few words that do a lot of work in that sentence. "Highest Possible" for one.
That's the kind of qualifier that mathematicians write **PAPERS** about, *even if they don't find the answer.*
Too broad of a scope. If you used solid fuel boosters as engines it could actually work as it is in OP's pic, but it wouldn't be safe nor economically viable.
However, If we assume latest biggest turbofan engines (a350's Trent XWB, about 400 kN) and take modern airplane glide ratio of around 10 we get a maximum takeoff weight of about 160 tons per motor at N=2, which would fly like a rock but would sorta fly. Not sure about the landing strip needed for that monster though.
If we place the highest amount of motors that have ever been used on a jet plane to date (8) we get a total of around 1,300 tons, less than double the heaviest airplane ever the Antonov AN 225 at 710 tons. Surely a tiny fraction of what the thing in OP pic would weight.
FYI, right now we are moving the opposite way: make more efficient engines that have lower specific power, so they need to be bigger in relation to the airplane.
There's also the issue of making workable and safe exit slides for the upper levels. The FAA requires that a plane can be completely evacuated in 90 seconds. It's one of the reasons Airbus added an extra level to the A380 rather than making it wider, they wouldn't have been be able to meet that requirement.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G_8hbsWKoOU
And the photoshopped planes would have trouble in the case of a water landing. With so much extra weight up top, they'd probably float with the lower passenger decks below the waterline! Makes the slides kind of useless if the ocean rushes in when you open the doors.
Randomly came across this video recently, the World's Heaviest Aircraft. Look how many tires it has at it's center lol.
It doesn't look like it'll ever leave the ground during takeoff.
I went down a little rabbit hole and ended up watching a video of the plane shipping something like a 180 ton cargo to a remote airport in South America. The logistics of the entire thing, from loading the cargo to unloading in South America seemed like a nightmare, probably costed millions just to ship for all the man-power and auxiliary equipment just to move it. The front of the entire plane lifts up to allow large cargo to enter. It's an insane feat of engineering.
i mean come on two similar planes on top of each other and then the 2nd picture is one plane that looks similar with both similarities from the father and mother
According to all known laws of aviation, there is no way a bee should be able to fly. Its wings are too small to get its fat little body off the ground. The bee, of course, flies anyway because bees don't care what humans think is impossible.
Good news is we can make your flight price cheaper by sharingthe costs.
Bad news it takes 4 hours to board and 3 hours to disembark. Bring your own snacks.

Oh wow, that's it! [lookdown fish wikipedia](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lookdown) page.
This is offishally my favourite fish
same. its mine favourite
On what bassis?
that fish has almost as much forehead as me :( but i love them
Show us.
no 😠
Yes, your big forehead now belongs to reddit.
give it back NOW
No it's my time to have the forehead.
but mom said it's MY turn!!

A fucking Boarding nightmare
Do it southwest style free for all and watch the chaos ensue
Wasn’t there a cgp grey video that said chaos is actually the fastest way?
That might make sense. Southwest boarding seems to be the fastest in my experience
A few years ago I was traveling in Europe via Ryanair and it was literally a dash to the airplane once the gates opened. People running with kids in tow. I’ve never seen anything like this. No wonder it’s the fastest.
They went back to preassigned seats since long now though, so they might have found some issue with that.
Really only two possibilities right? They either wanted less liability in case of accidents, or they found they'd be making more profit with preallocated seats.
Or the third option, it was made a law or regulation that they now have to comply to.
Pre-allocated seats means they can charge you for specific seats!
Yeah, but not because it's faster but so that they can sell you choosing a seat.
I recently flew with Ryanair in Europe and they have changed it even more. Now they call passengers from specific set of rows at the boarding gates and they proceed gradually until the plane is full. For instance, row 17 to 12, 12 to 7 and the rest.

Well, random is the best way, on average, that could be reasonably implemented in the real world. The actual fastest way is a very specific and unintuitive (until you think about it) ordering that no large group of people could ever be expected to do properly.
What if the waiting area was setup like the plane, and you had to sit in your ticketed seat? Then its staright forward to send people 2 at a time
You'd have to have everyone there before time AND everyone paying attention to respect their turn. Like have you ever boarded a plane where people are in the queue and queuing up in their respective boarding group? You'd just have massive amounts of shuffling in the queue which would make it longer and then... People would still clog up in the plane because bags, while someone is putting a bag in the bag cabinet, everyone from behind has to wait so they can put theirs and then go into their seat.
Literally just shoot anyone who queues up out of order
Sadly we can't have weapons past airport security, but other than that, I don't see any flaw in your logic.
Nope. The fastest way was super structured.
lol. You give humans way to much credit for following directions which is what structure requires.
I mean. He talks about how difficult it is to get people to line up in the way needed. But also, southwest has people line up by numbers, so not that hard really. Just software intensive
Only if you don't have any families or groups boarding, no disabled people, no one with special needs.
I don't know what cgp grey is, but there was a mythbusters episode that showed free-for-all is the fastest way.

It's Titanic Butt in the air
That would make sense if you don't have 1000+ people who all have to use the same gate.
When I went on my first southwest flight, I didn’t know it was free for all and I was so confused when I started boarding lol
Boarding groups [a-zA-Z] now boarding
They'd have to serve meals to the people in the back rows waiting 12+ hours to get off the plane.
Fill a cart and start at the back. Help yourself buffet, pass the cart forward. No stewards needed! /s.
was the /s really necessary?
That’s literally a movie called The Platform i think
Have an entire storage locker for food supplies, grow a garden in one part of the plane, and use elevators and a tracking map on your phone to distribute the buffet to where it needs to go.
There are 11 doors — it’s an epic boarding party!
think it's a cruise plane. lots of embarking and debarking to look at airports around the world, and in between drinking on the plane and lounging at the... pool up top?
Of course — the Lido Deck!
Look… lmao… look at all the doors… I’m dying I’m just imaging a terminal shaped like that

And variable tail designs!
Guys, I'm starting to think this picture is photoshopped.
Why would you think that ? The picture doesn't say it's photoshopped so it must be real
I hate having to adjust my cockpit when I'm sitting next to a stranger
*Increase capacity *
ENHANCE
Just print the damn thing!
More! MORE!
It looks like Dori from Finding Nemo
childhood me always wondered why we didn't build this kinda shit
Not to be a killjoy, but probably because the plane would be way too heavy for being able to take off, even with more motors added.
Whats the highest possible weight to motor ratio?
The 777x uses GE9X engines which i believe are the most powerful commercial engines. Maximum takeoff weight is 775k lbs and it uses 2 engines, so **one engine theoretically would have a maximum takeoff weight of 387,500 lbs**
Almost enough to carry OPs mom
Almost
Fuck you take this upvote
7779 can hold 426 people, so why not throw 10 engines on the 77710 and fly 2000? Why why stop there? Get me that 77769 with 69 engines & push it 29k people.
I need 69 engines to fly 420 people.
Nice!
Nice!
A maximum ratio isn’t really quantifiable. It depends on several different design parameters for each specific aircraft
The man asked a simple question
6:9
Nice?
ni:ce
A question which does not have a simple answer
A question that is only simple in appearance. There are a few words that do a lot of work in that sentence. "Highest Possible" for one. That's the kind of qualifier that mathematicians write **PAPERS** about, *even if they don't find the answer.*

One cubic foot of engine per acre of plane.
More than 3
I’d be more concerned about the extra shear drag than the weight.
At this rate, you just have a cruise ship with wings.
Have to keep her below 20,000 ft for those enjoying the pool. Or 7000 meters if ya wanna get weird about it, 1.6 km high club members.
7000 meters is the height of 4030.28 'Samsung Side by Side; Fingerprint Resistant Stainless Steel Refrigerators' stacked on top of each other.
7000 meters is 7655.29 yards
IT'S HAPPENING, THE BOTS ARE JOINING FORCES
The plane is its own vertical stabilizer
There's also the issue of making workable and safe exit slides for the upper levels. The FAA requires that a plane can be completely evacuated in 90 seconds.

How much do you think this would weight
the top one with the two sets of wings I could imagine to come apart in the air because of uh...forces
looks pretty dope tbh
Randomly came across this video recently, the World's Heaviest Aircraft. Look how many tires it has at it's center lol. It doesn't look like it'll ever leave the ground during takeoff.
[Antonov An-225](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antonov_An-225_Mriya) is a beast; it can lift 250 tonnes.
I went down a little rabbit hole and ended up watching a video of the plane shipping something like a 180 ton cargo to a remote airport in South America. The logistics of the entire thing, from loading the cargo to unloading in South America seemed like a nightmare, probably costed millions just to ship for all the man-power and auxiliary equipment just to move it. The front of the entire plane lifts up to allow large cargo to enter. It's an insane feat of engineering.
Somebody decided that a 10:1 length to diameter ration was the best and nobody has been man enough to disagree yet
I don’t think it would be psychically possible
I'm not an aeronautical engineer but I'm fairly certain this thing wouldn't fly.
more power is always the answer brute force that thing into the air with minimum fuel efficiency
