whatever. go my plane girls. more info undercut

so for the most part i based their designs off like. flight attendant and pilot uniforms, mainly picked uniforms from airlines that used the type of plane frequently

a300 is a mix of iran air's flight attendant uniforms from the 70s and from today, as well as their pilot uniforms. i picked iran air bc theyre a big user of the a300, i think they still have their a300s too? the twintails are bc the a300 is a twinjet

concorde is mainly based off air france and british airways uniforms from the around the time concorde was still being flown. honestly my simplest design but my favourite lol

747 is based off pan am's flight attendant uniform for obvious reasons lol. the crown is there bc of her nickname "queen of the skies" which i think is a rlly cute nickname. wanted her to seem like a fancy but nice lady :)

dc10 oh boy. the worst girl in the world. based her off american airlines pilot uniforms, the stripes on the pants are based off the old aa livery designs. wanted her to look like an overworked pilot bc i saw people describe the dc10 as a "workhorse"

When Airbus was developing the successor of the highly successful A300 twin-engine wide body airliner, their entry into the commercial aircraft market.

They faced the issue of ETOPS restrictions, basically a series of rules that limited aircraft range based on number of engines, and since they wanted to both replace the A300 and compete with the 747 and DC-10/MD-11, they basically developed a single airframe and wing for two planes

The A330, the direct successor to the A300

And the A340, the new challenger in the pacific and long-range flights.

The funny thing is, the A340 didn’t get 4 of the A330 engines, instead, as you can see, it got smaller engines, actually from the narrow body A320.

In effect just giving a tad more power and range compared to the A330, but giving us what has to be the most underpowered wide body airliner ever made, infamous for it’s long take-off runs and atrocious climb rates.

Hence why Airbus came back to its senses and actually gave it proper wide-body engines, finally creating a proper contender to the 747.

Sadly, with the end of the ETOPS restrictions and the rise of ultra-long range twin jets, the days of the A340 were counted, its production run ending in 2010.

Something that actually helped her smaller twin sister A330, which has found new life in the current wide body market thanks to newer, better engines, in a way, learning from the lessons of the A340.

250 women (considered to be particularly representative of today's France), including Princess Grace of Monaco, were invited by Airbus to discover the Airbus A300 (recently put into service on the Paris - Nice route), here at the Palm Beach Club of Cannes on 19 June 1974.
