Narrow-body aircraft (also known as a single
aisle aircraft) is an airliner with
a fuselage aircraft cabin width typically of 3 to
4 meters (10 to 13 ft)
Airline seat arranged 2 to 6 abreast along a
single aisle.

Aircrafts
Narrow-body aircraft with a range not
allowing transatlantic or transcontinental
flights are commonly known as regional
airliners

Aircrafts
Wide body aircraft is a larger airliner and is
usually configured with multiple travel classes
with a fuselage diameter of 5 to 7 meters (16
to 20 ft) and twin aisles.
Passengers are usually seated 7 to 10 abreast.

Aircrafts
Typical wide-body aircraft can accommodate
between 200 and 600 passengers,
While the largest narrow-body aircraft
(the Boeing 757-300 ) carries a maximum of
289.

Aircrafts
Narrow bodied planes have a single aisle
down the center of the cabin.
Wide bodies have two aisles.
Wide body planes hold more people and are
typically used for longer, international routes.

Aircrafts
An example of a narrow body plane is a
Boeing 737. An example of a wide body is a
Boeing 767/777/747.

Aircrafts
The first wide body aircraft, Boeing 747, was
introduced in February 1969.
Its capacity is 450 for a normal passenger
plane but can handle nearly 500 if configured
all coach seats for charter service.

Aircrafts
It has been nicknamed, Jumbo Jet.
Other wide body aircraft include the 777
Boeing, MD-11 McDonnell Douglas, A300
Airbus and the 767 Boeing jet.

Aircrafts
Types of narrow body aircraft include the 727
Stretch Boeing, 737 Boeing, MD 80 (S80)
McDonnell Douglas and the F100 Fokker.

Aircrafts
In the typical wide-body economy cabin,
passengers are seated seven to ten
abreast, allowing a total capacity of 200 to 850
passengers.

Aircrafts
The largest wide-body aircraft are over 6 m
(20 ft) wide,and can accommodate up to
eleven passengers abreast in high-density
configurations.

Aircrafts
By comparison, a typical narrow body airliner
has a diameter of 3 to 4 m (10 to 13 ft), with a
single aisle, and seats between two and six
people abreast.

Aircrafts
Wide-body aircraft were originally designed
for a combination of efficiency, passenger
comfort, and to increase the amount of cargo
space ,also used for the transport of
commercial freight & cargo

Aircrafts
Wide-body aircraft are also used for the
transport of commercial freight & cargo and
other special uses, described further below.

Aircrafts
The biggest wide-body aircraft are known
as jumbo jets due to their very large size;
examples include
Boeing 747 ("jumbo jet"),
Airbus A380 ("superjumbo jet")
Boeing 777-9X ("mini jumbo jet").[

Aircrafts
Although widebody aircraft have a larger
frontal area (and thus greater form drag) than
a narrow-body aircraft of similar capacity, they
have several advantages over their narrowbody counterparts:

Aircrafts
Larger volume of space for passengers, giving
a more open feeling to the space
Lower ratio of surface area to volume, and
thus lower drag on a per-passenger/cargo
basis.

Aircrafts
The only exception to this would be with very
long narrow-body aircraft, such as the Boeing
757

Aircrafts
Twin aisles that accelerate loading, unloading,
and evacuation compared to a single aisle
(wide body airliners typically have between
3.5 and 5 seats per aisle, compared to 5-6 on
most narrow-body aircraft)

Aircrafts
Reduced overall aircraft length for a given
passenger or cargo capacity, improving ground
maneuverability and reducing the risk of tail
strikes
Greater under-floor freight capacity

Aircrafts
The interiors of aircraft, known as the aircraft
cabin , have been undergoing evolution since
the first passenger aircraft.
Today, between one and four classes of travel
are available on wide-body aircraft.

Aircrafts
Bar and lounge areas which were once
installed on wide-body aircraft have mostly
disappeared, but a few have returned in First
class or business class on the Airbus A340 600 ,Boeing 777-300ER & on the Airbus A380

Aircrafts
Emirates Airline has installed showers for
first-class passengers on the A380; twenty-five
minutes are allotted for use of the room, and
the shower operates for a maximum of five
minutes.

Aircrafts
In some of the largest single-deck wide body
aircraft, such as the Boeing 777 , the extra
space above the cabin is utilized for crew rest
areas and galley storage.
