  1. I feel like they could've done well, by just scaling it back by half, or even 2/3... 🤔 Double-decker still, but only 2x (@1/2) or 1x (@2/3) cargo containers wide, instead of the... what did it depict, five wide? Which on that point, I beg to differ on your stance that it would've taken forever to unload the containers. Actually, I'm almost positive it would be substantially FASTER, because they would no doubt have either wheeled dollies on each container, or, built-in roller wheels that the containers would glide over. All the airports would have to do then, is roll the containers off with tugs. (I think the containers would need the wheels, here, in order to negate a cargo lifter [crane] – which would be slow) Hell, they could even have a short rail system next to these Heavy gates, where the trails run under the plane's parking zone and with the ramp down, the container gets automatically pushed up half way before some other system takes over. 👍 Plus, being smaller, yet still arguably a Big Boy, means: - wouldn't need as massive of engines; therefore... - less noise - improved fuel Encinitas - probably increased range (key for certain airlines; smaller plane = less drag = further fuel efficiency) - wouldn't be as heavy, not requiring runways to be beefed up/lengthened; therefore, more airports can be down into and out of. - might not need as extreme of gate modifications (for non people+cargo variants); therefore, increasing even further the locations they can operate from. - more importantly, less issues with emergency situations - lastly, it would be a suitable size for military operation, giving them the ability to either bring a shitload of soldiers, or a shitload of equipment*, or 100+ soldiers *and equipment! Awesome looking plane though! And kudos to whoever does your digital stuff!! (also, was a bummer that Mcdonald-Douglas didn't get mentioned; either for the DC-10, or even the proposed MD-12 that was also a big ass plane, albeit probably not this big lol)
