Encyclopedia: Wide-body aircraft

A wide-body aircraft is a large airliner with a fuselage diameter of 5 to 6 metres (16 to 20 ft). In common terms, it refers to an aircraft with twin aisles inside the cabin. Passengers are usually seated 7 to 10 abreast. For comparison, a traditional narrow-body airliner has a diameter of 3 to 4 metres (10 to 13 ft), a single aisle, and seats arranged 2 to 6 abreast. Typical wide-body aircraft can accommodate between 200 and 600 passengers, while the largest narrow-bodies carry about 280. Freight or cargo wide-bodies also exist.
