- mannykannot 7y agoLosing a door can have very serious consequences: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turkish_Airlines_Flight_981 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turkish_Airlines_Flight_981 The cargo hatch blew open and the cabin floor collapsed on account of differential pressure, disabling the rudder, elevator and rear engine controls. This may well not happen on a 777X -- various other airplanes have lost part of their cabin structure without crashing -- but an unexpected event calls into doubt your design. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aloha_Airlines_Flight_243 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aloha_Airlines_Flight_243
