To increase the efficiency of flights, reducing the cost of services, called the largest passenger aircraft in the world, accommodating several hundred people. Giant liners of high comfort, able to overcome huge distances without refueling, thanks to volumetric fuel tanks. The high load capacity makes it possible to transport large quantities of luggage.
Rating was made taking into account the maximum number of passengers, wingspan and overall dimensions of airliners.
