Innovation & Lifestyle - Could this be the end of the Jumbo Jet


Air travel is always changing with many companies competing and trying to find faster easier ways to travel around.But now a new planes has emerged called the Boeing 777X and it was unveiled at the Dubai Airshow along side many of the other famous new planes such as the Airbus and has been said to be that promising in what it can deliver it may even become the 21st century equivalent of the famous 20th century iconic plane the Jumbo jet which was used by everyone of the time as it was the latest piece of engineering. The plane is said to be able to carry 405 passengers and is significantly fastest and more spacious than other model with rumors of new versions being producing featuring extending cabin space for families and business class passengers.
Overall, I feel this clearly shows the trend for new technology and how simply a plane can become a trend in itself and become a symbol worldwide which can be easily recognised in any language just as the Jumbo jet did. The aesthetics of the plane also look modern and streamline fitting the stereotypical futuristic aesthetic people assume to see while retaining its original forms which closely resembles the Jumbo jet.
