But see that's the part that got me. I subconsciously thought (without logic) that the passenger cabin part is the upper half and the cargo is just as big as the top half. Actually, the passenger side is much more than the half, and it looks like they've crammed in a lot of things in the remaining bottom portion, making the cargo hold even smaller.
- coredog64 9y agoUnit load devices (e.g. an LD3) have standardized dimensions, so you don't get much by having a taller cargo hold than any other widebody. At best you want to ensure that a person can stand up (or mostly stand up) in the cargo hold as it makes operations easier.
