What’s The World’s Longest Passenger Plane?

Which commercial aircraft is the longest in the world? A simple answer is more complicated than it may at first seem. Looking over the sheer range of different widebody aircraft ever built, there are some surprisingly long aircraft that defy our eyes, but which takes the crown?

The 777X landed once out of the blue at Portland while I was working on the ramp, and we all stopped and were just in awe at the size of it. It was a privilege to see it up close.

The a318 looks hilarious with how short it is

"We're only going to talk about planes that are in regular use... Let's kick it off with the 737-100!" LMAO

[stradivarioushardhiantz]

747-8i is currently longest airliner
A380 has longest cabin length in total on main & upper deck
757-300 is the longest narrowbody airliner still serving on commercial
Guess (if) 777-10 will be the longest ever airliner w/ 80m in length

The Dornier 328 jet is only 21 metres long. I used to regularly fly on it between the UK and Denmark.
It's still in use, operated by Sun Air / British Airways

This video is stretched more than the A340-600

Would be nice to just fly somewhere in 2020🙁

“ The longest aircraft “and he proceeds to tells us of the shortest!

[Bhethar]

I love Airbus but I will always remove my hat for a Boeing 747. I'll never forget traveling on the tiny upstair floor.

[ajrocksx]

Had no idea that the B747-8 was longer than the A340-6. Thanks for the info

[karlogrgas]

Normal people : "Hmm wonder what it is lets watch the video"
Avgeeks: Still the longest commercial plane is 747-8 but the 777X will be the longest when it starts to operate

[Paolo]

Hold up: The 1st plane to surpass the 747-100-400 was the original 777 stretch, then came the A-340-600, then came the 747-8, then the 777 -Max 9.

One of those 'mine is longer than yours' video

[BoredGeese]

Everyone finds the A318 cute. The 737-200 is cuter for me. Like a small bird who paid for a buffet

[elPepe-qvww]

Correct title:

Which is the most pencil looking plane

[Meiquisha]

Idk why but the A340 gust looks so long and nice

[alexp]

I would guess A340-600. I saw one up close at the Paris Air Show many years ago, and I remember how much that truly surprised me.

I've flown on a 737-200 before. They were short, but still felt like a modern, large airliner, unlike all the small commuter twins of today. Never had the privilege of riding on a 747, but I have flown on the MD-80, DC-10, 757, L1011, 727 (both 100 and 200), 717, Fokker F-100, A-310, Canadair CRJ, and a slew of twin turboprops too long to mention. My favorites were the 757 and L1011. Never ridden at such a high deck angle during climb out as the 757 and enjoyed the Rolls Royce fan growl of it and the Lockheed immensely. I miss the 727. Aviation is too tame and homogeneous today. They perfected it and made it boring.

I hate when people compare the 787 and a350– they’re both in completely different classes. It’s the a330neo and the 787, or the a350 and 777x.

[wadeturner]

Wouldn't the BAe 146-100/Avro RJ70 be the shortest at approximately 86 feet long? I believe it's still in service
