"It is unlikely that two passengers can match the power of a jet engine. [citation needed]"
I still don't get it
Basically a joke on how planes could have more seats.
The main part of the plane is mostly the same. Front for first-class. Middle for economy. I'm assuming the bumper seats are more expensive cause they should be more fun. The penthouse is just the premium first class, assuming that they get they're own room. The tail gunners might be the best seats cause you don't have to do anything and get to earn extra miles. People in front of the back wing seem to be on death row.
Wing seats don't make sense cause wings are thin and you would be sitting on top of them but then you just die. Wings thick enough for people to sit at aren't possible (I think) or they could just where you lie down, which would be preferable to sitting down. Peddling seats could be free but require a lot of leg work, not sure if they're expected to peddle always or just in an emergency. Look out seems rather pointless, radar would be more reliable.
The side car just seems dumb, likely to get torn off due to wind resistance.
The cow cather is to catch cows, as the name implies.
The hole for trash seem to be a bit unethical, littering and all that.
Fighter escort seems pointless, planes rarely get shot down. Unless you're flying over interesting countries.
Wings are also where the majority of fuel is stored in commercial aircraft so any passengers inside them might drown
the fighter escort is to fight off the cows
