IS THERE REALLY A LIMIT ON SIZE OF SUCH AIRCRAFT?
A really great workhorse, this tried and trusted aircraft is about as big as they get, but here's the question: if we can build them this big, what keeps us from building such planes 5 to 10 times larger? We have the materials, we have the knowledge, and we have spaces for the length of some really long runways. Is there a realistic limitation on size or does our personal perceptions of size as it is relative to other carriers and objects in society limit us subconsciously?
