  6.  @John_L  it was also a money loser. Winch in the long run is what matters more. There were two competing ideas in the 60s. And the Jumbo jet turned out to be the better idea. Passenger capacity turned out to be better than speed.

  7. You're correct. Long term the 747 was the better deal. Being pretty and fast is nice. But it doesn't pay the bills.

  8. Well a technical possibility, very doubtful to be a financially successful one. For all the glory of the Concorde, airlines are in the business of making money.

  9.  @easygoing2479  the Airbus 380 also suffered from bad timing. It hit the market right around the 2008 financial crash. Nobody was flying. You could never fill the seats on the thing. The logistical problems you mentioned also didn't help.
