Browse List of Jumbo Passenger Jets Models

As the commercial aviation industry faced a great upwards swing after World War II, more and more people began flying both domestically and internationally. With the high success of the Douglas DC-8 and Boeing 707 coupled with an increase of passenger air traffic, the industry sought to expand the size of aircraft to accommodate such growth. To meet these needs, as well as maintain safety standards and regulations, engineers toiled over what design would be best to achieve airline needs. In the end, they found that a wider fuselage with a second aisle would be best to allow for more passengers, as well as increase cargo capacities. From the 1970’s, a number of wide bodied aircraft came about as airlines competed over the new market demand.

With the increase of aircraft size, there were also various structural and component changes that resulted in suit. For one, with a larger cabin space, passengers are able to have a more open space to enjoy, as well as the aircraft achieves a lower ratio of surface area to volume. As compared to narrow body aircraft, jumbo jets also tout increased structural efficiency. Over the years, there have been many jumbo jets that have been produced and are available on the market, and examples include the Boeing 747, Airbus A330, McDonnell Douglas DC-10-40, and the Lockheed L-1011 TriStar.
