"Let’s just say I hope I don’t live beneath the flight pattern. Those blades are enormous."
I'll say they are. I've seen them being transported on the highway on over-sized trailers. They are gigantic.

The world’s largest passenger plane is the airbus A380.

Copilot: “Good for you captain. Now could we go through the landing checklist?”.

ROFL!!! Thanks for the laugh. At least Skytanic won’t have to worry about icebergs, but flocks of birds, Chinese balloons, and other planes are a whole ‘nother story.

“Boeing 747 — the world’s largest passenger plane.”
Isn’t the Airbus A-380 bigger?
To: Libloather
This should only be allowed if it runs on offshore wind generated electricity, forbid using combustible fuels or fuel cells. Might take these geniuses a lots of decades to figure that out, but they are the ones worried about going through globull “change.”

“How do they get from the airport to the wind farm?”
Didn’t you see the pictures in the new article? It shows the new plane next to a wind farm out in the desert. Looks like it is a VTAL type aircraft ... if you believe the pictures.

In order to accommodate the jumbo jet’s landing, a 6,000 foot runway will also need to be constructed. That seems like an awfully short runway for that big a plane.

My vote is just bolt the blades together with 1/4 screws therefore enabling transport by Cessna 152s. QED. Duh!

It will have to be taken down if Biden keeps trying to say how big it is and messing up the numbers

every once in a while I see an Antanov, those things are just ginormous. Not anymore. The Russians destroyed it 2 years ago.
