AVIATION BY CHOICE

                                                                                          Engines form a very important part of a plane. They are the powerhouses which work right from take-off to landing, sometimes running for 15-16 hours (sometimes even more). Passenger planes are mainly equipped with either two engines (twin-jets) or four engines (quad-jets). Today we are going to talk about the rise of the quad-jets and a possible end to their reign in commercial aviation history. WHY WERE QUAD-JETS MADE ?                                   During the 1960s and 70s, there was a sudden boom in number of passengers taking to the skies, a need was felt for  bigger aircraft which could carry more passengers and fly for longer distances. Quad-jets such as DC-8 and Boeing 707 were already flying   (they were pretty successful too) but their passenger capacity and range were limited. A new plane was badly needed to reduce travel times between major economic hubs of the world. Then came the

Its effects are not just limited to passenger experience but also in ways how airlines function. Lets take a look at how flying can most likely change in the post pandemic era. PASSENGER EXPERIENCE                        Anyone who follows aviation or has basic knowledge about recent developments in the aviation industry might know about the requirement for passengers to wear a face mask at all times right from entering the airport to boarding a plane and leaving the aircraft. With more and more airlines making it compulsory for passengers to wear a mask (they are even letting go of certain exemptions they had with this rule), it can be easily estimated that wearing a mask while flying might become a part of new normal. Also, airports
