Ladies and Gentlemen,
As far as I know the concept of an airplane with 2 full passenger decks is nothing new in the history of avionics - the Airbus A380 represents the state-of-the-art realisation of this traditional type of construction... That means that the 747 of Boeing could have been a 2-deck-aircraft as well - but is was most likely designed to be only a 1,5-deck flying machine originally and intentionally... Why?
Throughout the history of the Jumbo Jet its upper deck was always used to provide with exotic privacy and intimacy for a couple of passengers... Who don't want to be in the society of another 300 travellers but who seek a little uninhabited island... (Private islands are the biggest luxury on Earth after all...) And what kind of people look for such isolation, privacy and intimacy? Happy people and people in love, respectively... (But the lovely and little upper deck of the Boeing 747 is also just the right place for the most elite military crew of Air Force One to gather somehow...)
It is very sad actually if there is nowadays not such a big demand for an aircraft that can provide with a "Blue Lagune" for some travellers in 7th heaven... No dreams, no phantasies and no emotions - only the tread mill of everydays, the struggle for mere survival and calculation... I am not joking - the lack of orders for the new Boeing 747-8 Intercontinental really means to me a giant depression of mankind... The end of the American Dream of freedom in all respects - that entire mankind was longing for? (Only a couple of BBJ customers have discovered the new Jumbo Jet for themselves as their cozy and romantic flying castle for forward-thinking...)
The mercy of the Lord Jesus Christ be with us! We should be able to believe in a better future...
Best wishes, Joseph de la Mikula and Team
