Airbus announced today that it has initiated preliminary studies for the design and manufacture a 2600 passenger airplane. Take out the amenities, put in seats with 12 inch legroom and you can get at least 15,000 passengers on board. Of course you will still have to keep the deep vein thrombosis clinic.
(yes, I know it's a joke)

Shooting range! It has to have a range for rifles and pistols!

Good luck and safe flying. Anything less would be...

Yeah? Tell me how they're gonna fit three tons of stale pretzels on that behemoth, hmm?

Didn't the Guppies used to have turbo props? When did they upgrade to turbo fans?

When Airbus built 'em. That's a "Beluga," not a "Guppy."

The guppies were retired years ago, the new transports are based on the A300 and known as the Beluga.
To: Paul Ross
2600 passengers, French passengers. Unwashed French passengers.
Ewwwwwwww.

"Unwashed" and "French" is redundant.

its a joke
and if its not it should be
airbus sucks ass
To: AFreeBird
Didn't the Guppies used to have turbo props? When did they upgrade to turbo fans?Yes. They did and still do. The Super Transporter is an Airbus-derived aircraft that was obviously inspired by the U.S.'s Super Guppy.
Imitation...the sincerest form of flattery.
Meanwhile, with Boeing going along the same production approach as Airbus...they are making their own version...the 747400LCF... to transport fuselage sections...all the way from Italy to Seattle...
