This might be a dumb question, but it looks like there are two cockpits on this plane. I imagine the plane is drive by wire, so it doesn't matter where you are on the plane. Why do they have two?
Extending my question further, why does this plane have a cockpit at all? Isn't this something you could remotely pilot, especially to mitigate the potential risk of being at 30k feet with thousands of kilos of RP-1 or similar?
- seanmcdirmid 9y agoI'm guessing they made it out of two of an existing plane design and that is just what you got. Or for balance, you wouldn't want them to differ much.
- CydeWeys 9y agoThey just bought two used 747s and stuck them together. Way more work to remove the cockpits than just leave them intact on their individual airframes. Hell, for all we know, this could be remotely piloted.
