«Откидывающиеся кресла эконом-класса исчезнут навсегда, говорят авиационные эксперты»: Авиакомпании придумали на чем еще сэкономить - ради снижения веса самолета установят кресла, которые не откидываются. Но зато «будет меньше поводов для драк на борту».

Если бы бог хотел, чтобы человек поднялся в небо, он никогда бы не позволил конструкторам изобрести эти летающие машины!

Greetings to all! :D In the 1970s, the newly formed McDonnell Douglas was faced with a golden opportunity to steal back the ground lost to Boeing during the previous decade by cornering the market for American-built twinjet widebody airliners, with the DC-10 Twin being envisaged as a two-engined variant of the initially promising trijet that was released in 1971. Sadly, the divisions of the 1967 merger to form McDonnell Douglas led to a severe lack of unity when it came to forward planning, and the DC-10 Twin, through various permutations, would continue to linger throughout the decades as the company's attempt to regain its fallen market share, only for the likes of Airbus and Boeing to have completely sown up any hope of a return to the mainstream of global commercial aviation.
