August 11, 200619 yr Hi Tim,Well now, that is a good question. I think we need to go back a few years to get what I think is a good answer. I retired in 1990 after 42 years in the aviation manufacturing/maintenance business. Prior to about 1960, most all passenger aircraft had a two-two seating in the cabin. However, when the Lockheed L1011, the DC10, and the B747 came along we just naturally called them Wide Body airframes for lack of a better description, cuz they sure had wide Bodies. How do that sound?Regards,Bob Irvine... in sunny Florida
