I do have to stress that yes, there are technically triple-decked aircraft flying today in the form of the Boeing 747 and Airbus A380. As in, they have three levels, two for passengers and one for cargo on the lower deck.
What we are talking about is aircraft with three levels for passengers throughout the aircraft and then in addition, a cargo deck. Truly a gargantuan aircraft monstrosity.
This aircraft design would be able to accommodate well over 1000 passengers in three different classes, with the very best in first class having their own private suites for long haul flights. Other features may include rentable bunks like a japanese pod hotel, an onboard spa for passengers looking to relax, a business center to keep wokring while in flight, bars and dining establishments for airlines to earn additional revenue, and even gyms.
Although as we have said in our future aircraft cabin concept video, the idea of a gym onboard is perhaps not the best idea with access to showers (and plus, would airlines really want to carry the extra weight of dumbbells.
although... knowing airlines they would more likely try to cram as many passengers onboard as possible to earn as much money as possible. Let me know in the comments if you would fly on a high-capacity version of the plane.
This plane would be long haul, making sense only for flights across the world from Asia to Europe and North America between major hubs like Singapore, Dubai, London, and New York. These planes carry so many passengers that it would require a high-density route - lighter routes would make no financial sense and domestic short-haul routes, even New York to LA, would be impossible.
So you likely are halfway through this video and wondering, hey nick, this is all well and good and I'm enjoying the animations but surely this doesn't exist.
The first is the AWWA Sky Whale - now this plane is totally bonkers and relies on technology that's beyond even the latest James Cameron. But we can admire the artist's vision for an aircraft that has an evolution beyond what we currently have today.
The plane is a different take of what is known as the Breguet Range equation - how to fly as efficiently as possible.
They are propulsive efficiency (how efficient are your engines?); aerodynamic efficiency (is lift maximized and drag minimized?); and structural efficiency (how much payload can you carry?). Airlines naturally want the best engine and aerodynamic efficiency but then want to carry as much cargo, be it post or passengers, as possible.
Second, we have the more conservative DECK III concept that can be built today with current technology. Seemly a marriage between a Boeing 747, Airbus A380 and an Antonov An-225 Mriya.
But what about if we brought the concept to the current market using the aircraft we have today - like the Boeing 747 and Airbus A380?
After all, that cargo deck could be re-purposed for passengers and has been done so in the past. For example, The Lockheed Martin L-1011 had an option to turn the forward cargo deck into a boarding lounge with its own features stairway.
Another example of using the cargo area for passenger services was the Airbus A340. This plane had not only bathrooms on the lower level of the plane but also a galley with room for several passengers.
There are some issues.
1st - flexibility. As mentioned at the start of this video, these aircraft require substantial routes to operate on a profit, such as flying halfway across the world. Outside of these routes, they will not earn a dime for an airline despite costing well over half a billion to buy and more to operate over its lifetime.
Speaking of service, airports will have trouble getting access to the plane in order to stock food and fuel, with no ground cars able to reach that high. Airports will also need bigger and longer runways to land the planes, impossible for airports like Heathrow and JFK which already have space problems - and significant redesigns for taxiways and parking ramps.
Lastly, being a passenger onboard you could expect long boarding and disembarking times, a serious evacuation risk if you were involved in an accident and don't even consider getting a meal while its hot.
Before we go, a special mention of the Boeing 314 had three decks and was the mainstay for travel around the world for many years. But we will do a video on this incredible aircraft and where it flew in another video - so you will just have subscribe and tune in next time for my next video.
To save weight: dehydrate passengers before boarding; rehydrate after arrival.

All these ideas of gyms, restaurants, beds for hire etc. are impossible. Every airline maximises every foot of space for bookable seats. The more people you can squeeze into a plane, the more profitable it becomes so why would you just set aside empty space just in case existing passengers might want to sleep or workout. Even if they could pay for it, it would be as profitable as just filling that space with extra seats. If there is extra space, the airline will fill it with seats, not these gimmicks. Even the Emirates showers are a useless gimmick as they rarely uplift extra water for them as it costs more fuel due to the weight. Doesn’t justify the cost.
Yep
everyhting will just be worse in the future

True. Any such "cruiseship of the skies" would more likely be a rigid airship of some kind, as they would be able to function at a much lower cost than an airliner, and either option would require the installation of a significant amount of infrastructure.
This is the true and only way to make planes economic and "a little bit more" ecologic.
One class planes. Comfy, no more, no less. Fat wallet not happy ? Buy a jet or use video conference.
well not possible on planes, as they are extremely space limited.
these 'cruise ship' like amenities are not possible, when your entire business model depends on efficiency.
Yeah. I'd say that economic + business are the only two classes airlines will need. In fact, If it were me, I'd give priority to business class. Flying is no longer a luxury! Why don't they keep the passengers comfortable enough for long flights without useless gimmicks?
A simple twin engine with business + economic is more than enough and it has been proven over the decades. Function over form!
As a little boy back in middle school, I drew this exact plane. Granted, my design had seven decks, but the principal was the same, AN-225 hangover design with six engines, funny to see a video about it now.
Would the deck lettering system have worked like it does for cruise ships where decks are lettered in descending order?

Very unsuccessful, actually
@NorthStars the Steagle but pretty much every other airline doesn't, and one airline isn't going to make a plane profitable.
One of the craziest concepts was from the 50s: The Saunders Roe 'Queen'. A 1000 seater flying boat, designed to fly from Britain to Australia, it would have had TWENTY FOUR Rolls Royce Conway engines and a wing so deep, engineers could stand upright in it and maintain engines mid flight.
I find it really hard to believe even with the airline struggling before the pandemic that this many people fly in the world to any location at one time
Probably only a potential design for the Antonov replacement as a huge cargo plane. It will not become a passenger plane.
Agreed. During this Pandemic Time, with so many countries restricting nonessential travel, airlines are retiring their A380s and 747s. The hub-and-spoke model these big planes depended on is being supplanted by point-to-point route networks, where you use smaller planes. And businesses are learning that it's cheaper and more productive to meet on Zoom. All that means lower passenger numbers for a long time to come. If anything, that means the trend is toward smaller planes, not bigger. If there's an opportunity for these super-duper-jumbos, it's in cargo.
Or it can be a combi aircraft where there is cargo and passengers

Just imagine this thing crashing. 1000+ deaths
Exactly. An aircraft like that would certainly need many failsafe systems. I think the Boeing 747 had 4 backup safety systems for every system. 747 they said was a very safe flying jet
@@matthewb769 True
That's exactly what I thought
The only things that happen are pilot error or maintenance
To bring those down
Out of all future concepts, this one looks most realistic out of them
A passenger plane this size will likely never be realized as the A380 failure has shown. As the video briefly covers, a huge problem are airports themselves which can't be easily modified to handle a plane this big. That's why the 777-X has folding wing tips so it can fit without the airport modifications needed for an A380. I think the most realistic future passenger aircraft beyond tube and wing designs will be a blended wing body (or flying wing like the B-2 Stealth Bomber). With advances in computer modelling, LCDs negating the need for real windows and flexible materials like carbon fiber, such a plane could be built now within the same physical dimensions of a tube and wing design but carry more at a higher operating efficiency.
@@calvinl2149 I mean it looks most realistic because look at the Boeing 2707, wasn't looking realistic.
777-X has folding wings for a different reason.
Airports can dock airplanes with bigger wingspan without any substantial problem. But space is scarce thus very expensive. Docking spaces are divided into categories, each category substantialy more expensive. 777-X falls into lower category thanks to wing folding. This saves a LOT of money to airplane operators. Chech out Mentour pilot ep about this, he covers this topic very well.
@@Makak0007 Thanks for the link. I also took a look at Captain Joe's video about this. czcams.com/video/CVJodUengtk/video.html. I still think what I said is true with respect to why a passenger plane bigger than the A380 will likely never be built. That is, it financially doesn't make sense to modify airports to accept larger planes. I think the operational cost savings from taking up a smaller slot is a secondary benefit to not needing a huge initial capital investment to modify airport taxiways, gates, runways, etc.
@@calvinl2149 Absolutely. And these immense investments prove to be prohibitive. Unless something dramatically changes in aviation industry, no A380 likes are to be successfully developed and sold. We can enjoy A380s until they are phased out in a decade or two probably without any foreseeable replacement.
As for 777-X: this is a plane of regular sizes compatible with current infrastructure. What happened here is that they upgraded it to achieve higher fuel efficiency, mostly via extended wingspan. But they also wanted to keep the airport fees at the same level and since 777-X fell into higher (more expensive) category thanks to it's extended wingspan, the only solution was to make them foldable :-) Not sure what the airport fees exactly are but they must be very, very steep if it makes sense to add complexity and weight to 777-X and it still pays off. I am sure Boeing thought through all pros and cons very carefully and airplane operators even better.
This dude is honestly so entertaining, i honestly forgot how many videos of his i watched but it always helps me no matter what mood i'm in.
L-1011 Tri-star had a lower level galley accessed by a lift/elevator. Cabin crew could have privacy there if they kept the lift door open.
It was also a damned dangerous arrangement, IIUC. The lift was very poorly guarded on the lower deck, and I've heard at least one member of crew was crushed to death under one. 😥
I seem to recall there's also a ladder that could be used (Though it might've been in the lift shaft ⚠) as well as an emergency exit up into the passenger gangway at the opposite end.
I like these newer designs, we should always keep pushing the envelope of technology forward and not become complacent with older models. ..
These "newer" designs aren't really pushing the envelope of technology though. Think about WW2 and guns on battleships getting bigger. Those completely missed paradigm shifts in technology change such as guns -> missiles and aircraft carriers making battleships obsolete.
Will never happen as long as money is the only goal
@@calvinl2149 If aircraft had to give passengers a decent amount of space then larger planes would be doing better
@@calvinl2149 Basically if you make 3 decked planes its both a fuel waste and too costly. it also sounds absurd and obsolete, think of the engine its gonna need.

love the design of the deck III, looks fantastic.
I actually have a fantasy universe where these triple-deck aircraft not only took off (pun 100% coincidental) with gangbuster levels of success, but were mandated by Buttski law with all of these ultra-futuristic amenities as standard in all classes. The base models ended up putting basic and premium economy on the C deck, business class on the B deck, and first class on the A deck. Today's twin-deck aircraft combined the basic and premium economy classes onto the B deck and the business and first classes on the A deck.

@@trezapoioiuy The last A380 is being assembled as we speak. Although they haven't announced it Emirates is making plans to down size their fleet. On the other hand UPS is very pleased with the 8F. In addition the next generation VVIP is based on the 747. So the 747 is going to be around for years to come.
Don't get me wrong, the 380 is a technical marvel. However, its a European vanity project that never should've gotten as far as it did. The only thing that prevented it from being a colossal failure was Emirates.
PS: Before you go and accuse me of being a Boeing fan boy I don't think that the next generation 777 is going to end well for Boeing.
Double deck air crafts production already canceled because there are no buyers.
Emerites smallest plane:
lmao
As we have learned in aviation, bigger is almost never better these days. It would've worked back in the 70s-80s when aviation was on a HubHub model, but with the introduction of low-cost airlines and their model, airlines now shifted to a DestinationDestination model with little to no layover.
Edit: Spelling
I think the era of double decker high capacity planes is over, A 380 will be the new Concorde soon. Aitlines are more interested in single aisle long range planes like NEO.
I think one day or another in the very near future, when the aviation gets back growing, the demand for larger planes will eventually come back. The number of slot restricted airports is increasing. For example, Air France decided to ditch the A380 but when the situation improves they'll be forced to add a couple "duplicate" flights to some destinations at essentially the same time (ie JFK, JNB, NRT, LAX...). In the case of Tokyo NRT paying Russia's super expensive overflight tax and NRT taxes twice.
And there are several high density long routes that do not allow much freedom in the schedule, the most blatant example for AF is still being NRT : the airport closes early due to curfew and no one wants to land at 4 AM in Paris CDG so the schedule is always the same.
The wiggle room between the flights' schedules won't be larger than an hour each way.
So I see a small but firm and premium market for larger planes in the near future. Especially on the polar routes and 10/11+ hours flights as half a day flight times automatically forces you to choose between narrow time windows in the morning and the evening. Completely losing any interest in frequency offer.

Boarding needs to be organized before people get onto the plane. This could be done at the terminals so that passengers furthest from the doors get on first so that corridors are not impeded by people boarding in seats closer to the entrance door. This is a matter of being sensible and orderly.

This idea reminds me of the Saunders-Roe Queen. If you don't know what it would have looked like, imagine a seaplane with a wingspan of 313 feet, five levels of seating (arranged into six-person compartments that could be turned into sleeping areas in the evening) allowing for a 1,000 passenger capacity, plus seven crew and 40 stewards, with 12 engines built in each of the wings. Had it gone beyond the proposal phase (which would have been unlikely due to the sheer size of that thing), it would have likely been the largest passenger airplane ever built, and if they were able to build enough of them would have made transatlantic plane tickets cheap at least a decade before the 747.
It would've been epic to "sea" (Sorry! 🙃) and I've often wondered why seaplanes aren't used for passenger services anymore, but I don't know if it would've faired all that well. We Brits are _great_ at making things which are _reasonable and practical_ of course...But _superlative proportions?_ I think experience suggests that might be something better _designed_ in Britain, but then passed to the Americans to actually _deliver_ it. 😇
And there might be a few issues properly refuelling the things, when you consider a British gallon is (Oddly enough) 1,3l (2 pints) *bigger* than an American one! 😳
@@dieseldragon6756 I think the death of the seaplane for commercial long-distance flights largely coincided with the introduction of jet airliners and also not wanting to have to deal with metal corrosion by seawater.

1:04 Some planes have crew sleeping quarters in the lower deck. The current Air Force One also has two doors and two staircases there.
These aircraft would have been perfect during the late 1960s/early 1970. However in today's market, it'll most likely be a huge failure. I feel that these aircraft could allow airlines to experiment with seats.
Anyways, I would love to fly on this giant aircraft unless if the airline stuffed a button of standing up seats.
I've always loved high capacity aircraft. I once flew on a Singapore airlines A380 from Osaka to Singapore and I loved the experience.
Assuming the 1960s and 70s had that level of technology, maybe.
but even than in 70s cost of fuel was getting high and demand was just not so high.
Airports right now: We need to build the 777X.. wings are too long
Airbus and Boeing with triple decker concepts: *Are you sure about that?*
Wings are already at maximum length...but tandem wings are possible.
It's the cost of building it as well maintenance
@@pd4165 Maybe it's time for a supersonic delta wing type aircraft? I guess a bi-plane wing is possible but it would be tricky to get it to achieve the same order of efficiencies. The longer a wing is the higher efficiency it has, so there could be a continuation of the folded wings like the 777x but just taken further.
True
Let me just say I like the little jingle at the beginning of your videos ☺️☺️☺️
Very interesting content.
Actually, this concept could work so long as they make a cargo variant, the reason the 747-900 is still being made is that unlike the A380, it has a cargo variant and the more cargo that shipping companies can move in a single flight the better. This makes it possible for Airlines to buy them because even though airlines might only want a small number, cargo companies will want more and thus make the research and development costs a worthwhile investment.
They just rolled out the last 747 900 cargo plane out of the Everett facility just before Christmas 2022
I feel like these larger planes could have done better if they had focused on making them cargo planes. Most of the problems for them come from being used as pax transport planes but it is a completely different game when it comes to cargo shipping. The 225 (RIP) was a cargo plane and look how well it did.
a marriage between a Boeing 747, an Airbus A380, and an Antonov An-225 does sound like a mechanical nightmare in operation, but boy is it beautiful to look at
I actually flew on a L1011 back in the day...one smooth and comfortable aircraft!
Ngl I was thinking of triple decker aircraft just earlier today
I fly all over the World with my job, or at least I did before all this Covid debacle. I flew on an A380 once and I have gone out of my way to never fly on another one. The flight was OK and I traveled in Business class which was very nice, it made the immigration and customs lines at the other end a nightmare. After that I vowed never again.
Depends on the airport.
Airports don't like paying for customs/passport agents, so they buy in as few as possible. Manage a steady stream of passengers and they will get the right amount of staff in. An airport would have to schedule inbound flights better, to smooth the flow.
The airport I worked at - more interested in parking fees and renting shops out - the aircraft were just there to supply customers for parking and coffee shops.
“Would the airlines actually want to carry the extra weight of dumb bells?” They already do, and on a few flights I’ve ended up in the row right next to them! Cool concept, it’ll be interesting if it ever happens!

This aircraft need different infrastructure for airports like long runway, wide taxi way and huge parking appron.
Absolutely the plane is just too huge as well the construction cost maintenance and fueling would be astronomical high no plane manufacturer building would be able to build it it's such a beast the plane would be so big you'd need to build it out side or construct a special facility to build it and that would cost hundreds of billions in cash

Thanks! I hope you sub ! Another video in a few hours
@@FoundAndExplained yes dude i subcribe because this video was awesome
The Deck III aircraft was the result of A380 and B747 having a night stand and A380 going home to find ANTONOV waiting for her
Your forgetting the price cost to build such a huge massive plane maintenance fueling as well expanding runways and everything else the plane needs
*Antonov An-225 has left the chat*
Nice prof picture

Being in the 3rd deck and you look outside
nice engine view :)
The A.W.W.A skywalk or something like that is sick 3:22
Never going to happen with ever stringent emission regulations.
Will happen when they invent efficient zero-emission aircraft engines.
So when they finally let us use electrolysis and hydrogen as a fuel source.
Not to mention construction cost maintenance and fueling it would be a pain
Wow a large plane this will be perfect for the future but i thing we need a electrical engines because there are 6 engine it will become more louder and burn a lot of fuel
Just think of how it would cost to build maintenance and fueling it
hybred eñfges like hybr cars
Actually, at 6:01, another aircraft comes to mind; the Ilyushin IL-86 had the same features where the lower deck wasn’t solely for baggage. Indeed, it had the same purpose, which was to eliminate the need for a jet bridge or air stairs at poorly equipped airports.
Antónov An-225.
4:35 “Anatov” = ANTONOV...
Flight reception: Whats your cargo
AntonovAn 225: Oh, just me and a Space Shuttle
I think the era of large planes is over, with most 747s and a380s getting de-commissioned. We might never get an era of large planes again
So this is what happens when those plane photoshoppers get gud.
I like that ✈️ I would fly on that plane
It would cost around 20.000 to 50.000 a ticket to ride it due to it construction maintenance and fueling it

That moment when he said "Bergent range equation"
*France has disconnected from the channel*
Opps! And I have a French girlfriend too
*France has chosen to pursue a far superior method* 😇
_Sound of TGV whizzing past..._ 🚄❤🔥💨💨💨😉
Holy moly i wanna fly one of those!!🎉🎉😍😍🙌
A390 be like:
u know dang well airlines ain’t gonna fly that
I agree- they are getting rid of the 747 and a380 because of that and fuel cost
The deck 3 would be insanely pricey to build maintenance and fuel
A triple passenger deck giant jet aircraft with no improvements on emergency exits and safety protocols? No way! Those monsters would be flying Titanics. (Doomed to crash on their maiden flights). 😮
NICE Video, You Got a New SUBSCRIBER...🙂👍
Thanks and welcome
@@FoundAndExplained My PLEASURE Sir...🙂
Meanwhile in an alternative universe
The secretary: NOOOO you can’t just buy large planes at large numbers their too expensive and you will bankrupt the airline NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
The airline: hahaha large planes go brrrrr
Wishful dreaming! The current aviason climate doesnt allow this dreaming to become a reality.
Cool!😀👍
I want an oxygen mask and an emergency exit! You want an oxygen mask and an emergency exit? Make that two oxygen masks, and two emergency exits!
