Commercial Aircraft carries

passengers or goods, rather than
military aircraft.

“
It is used to transport the passengers, cargo from one
end to another end of the world through the air.

21
 22

Commercial Airlines are used to haul

passengers and freight on scheduled
basis between selected airports.

“
An AIRLINER is a type of aircraft for
transporting passengers and air cargo. Such
aircraft are most often operated by airlines.

The largest of them are wide-body jets which

are also called twin-aisle because they
generally have two separate aisles running from
the front to the back of the passenger cabin.

And a smaller, more common class of airliners

is the narrow-body or single-aisle.

23
Types of Commercial Airplanes
◉ Jumbo passenger jets
◉ Mid size passenger jets
◉ Light passenger jets
◉ Passenger turbo props
◉ Cargo airplanes
◉ However, the Boeing 737
(United, foreground) and the
Airbus A320 (Virgin,
background) are the most
widespread airliners.
24
Jumbo Passenger Jets

◉ The Boeing 747 was the first wide-body

commercial jet to earn the moniker “Jumbo Jet.

25
Mid Size Passenger Jets

◉ It has a narrower body. Although they can still

carry over 350 passengers, these planes can’t
match the 600-passenger capacity of a Boeing 747
in a single class configuration.

26
Light Passenger Jets

◉ In the light passenger jet range, the seating for passengers

is typically 60 to 100. It is also popular for regional routes
because they consume less fuel and require less
investment, an owner can quickly reap a profit by flying
their plane to popular destinations from larger central
hubs.

27
Passenger Turbo Prop

◉ are more fuel-efficient than jet engines, however.

Since fuel is one of the greatest expenses for an
airliner, this makes them a better investment. A
passenger turboprop can also operate and take off from
shorter runways.

28
Cargo Airplanes

◉ This aircraft can carry 340 cubic feet or 12

passengers. As stated, the propeller-driven
airplanes will reach remote areas with smaller
airstrips.
