Wide Body Aircraft

A wide-body aircraft is a large airlinerwith twopassengeraisles, also known as a twin-aisle aircraft. Inthe typical wide-body economy cabin, passengers areseated seven to ten abreast, allowing a total capacity of

200 to 600 passengersWide-body aircraft are also used for the transport ofcommercial freight and cargo

By comparison, a traditional narrow-body airliner has adiameter of 3 to 4 m (10 to 13 ft), with a single aisle,andseats between two and six people abreast.

Contd.

Wide-body aircraft were originally

designed for a combination of efficiency

and passenger comfort. However, airlines

quickly gave in to economic factors, and

reduced the extra passenger space in

order to maximize revenue and profits

General aviation is a catch-all covering

other kinds of private and commercial use,

and involving a wide range of aircraft types

such as business jets (bizjets), trainers,

homebuilt, aerobatic types, racers, gliders,

warbirds, firefighters, medical transports,

and cargo transports, to name a few. Thevast majority of aircraft today are general

aviation types.

Business jet

Business jet, private jet or, colloquially, bizjetis a term describing ajet aircraft, usually ofsmaller size, designed for transporting groups ofbusiness people or wealthy individuals.

Homebuilt aircraft

Also known as amateur-built aircraftorkit

planes, homebuilt aircraft are

constructed by persons for whom this is

not a professional activity. These aircraft

may be constructed from "scratch," from

plans, or from assembly kits. The safety

record of homebuilts is not comparable tocertified general aviation aircraft.

Aerobatics

Aerobatics is the practice offlying

maneuvers involving aircraft attitudes that

are not used in normal flight. Aerobatics

are performed in airplanes and gliders for

training, recreation, entertainment and

sport

Gliders

A gliderorsailplane is a type ofglider

aircraft used in the sport ofgliding. Some

gliders, known as motor gliders are used

for gliding and soaring as well, but have

engines which can, in some cases, be

used fortake-offor for extending a flight.
