This may not account for all the discrepancy, but it surely does for quite a lot.Thickethouse.wordpresshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17187303460677067276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1949425054295660529.post-15700884002693859142011-05-10T16:52:15.686+02:002011-05-10T16:52:15.686+02:00Hallo Peter, vielen Dank für deine Erläuterung!

Schade, dass da so wenig Kommunikation zwischen den Planungsteams von Innen und Außen herrscht.<br /><br />Darf ich fragen, wie du auf meinen Blog gestoßen bist?Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1949425054295660529.post-40281419023743783022011-05-10T13:54:51.038+02:002011-05-10T13:54:51.038+02:00Sorry for writing in german... :-)
Es ist ganz ein...Sorry for writing in german... :-)<br />Es ist ganz einfach: Ein Flugzeugtyp wird völlig unabhängig davon gebaut, wie später das Innenleben aussieht. Und Fenster in einem Flugzeugrumpf können nur dotz platziert werden, wo es die Statik zulässt.<br />Moderne Maschinen haben viel mehr Fenster als Sitzreihen, eine Airbus 320 z.B. hat über 40 Fenster, aber i.d.R. nur 30 Sitzreihen. Trotzdem lässt sich das nicht synchronisieren. Ähnlich ist es in einem Zugwaggon. Es wird immer die Hülle separat geplant vom Interieur, jeweils ohne Rücksichtnahme darauf. Nur bei Einzelanfertigungen (z.B. Regierungsmaschinen) kann man solche Details mit in die Planung einbeziehen.Peternoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1949425054295660529.post-70298444646456392632011-05-10T07:48:39.566+02:002011-05-10T07:48:39.566+02:00Well, from all the comments on here and on another...Well, from all the comments on here and on another platform where I have posted this, I gather this must be the true reason.<br />Hardly surprising, actually.<br /><br />Thank you for stopping by, too, Mary!Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1949425054295660529.post-20871786637323296682011-05-09T07:46:11.013+02:002011-05-09T07:46:11.013+02:00Thanks for stopping by!

I think some designer plans it perfectly and then some business manager says to squeeze 10 more sardines into the can! That's my take on it . . . forget about comfort!

There probably is not such a discrepancy between the number of seats and windows on a private plane.Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1949425054295660529.post-61108865981107905212011-05-05T04:57:42.389+02:002011-05-05T04:57:42.389+02:00My initial thought is that they could certainly de...My initial thought is that they could certainly design "one seat one window." They may build pieces in different places but somewhere there is a single blueprint. So the frustrating neck strain must be the result of conscious decision. My guess is that our visual pleasure is secondary to more important criteria. Maybe windows are designed in order to provide minimum structural weakness and weight. And seats are designed to fit as many as possible into the plane to make it more profitable. So if there are more window seats than windows then the odds are against getting one right next to an actual window.Bagman and Butlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06760203276065466927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1949425054295660529.post-11543050440827226952011-05-04T23:06:59.071+02:002011-05-04T23:06:59.071+02:00No, it's just after leaving Stuttgart (South G...No, it's just after leaving Stuttgart (South Germany).<br />Your theory would be plausible - if there would be a proper ratio seats:windows, but there isn't; the seats are not evenly distributed according to the number of windows at all, and that's why I find this so odd, there is no recognizable pattern in it.<br />I did indeed have a wonderful trip, thank you!Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1949425054295660529.post-21306021048764077822011-05-04T19:02:33.981+02:002011-05-04T19:02:33.981+02:00Is that Heathrow?

Maybe the win...Is that Heathrow? What a great shot.<br />Maybe the window placement has something to do with the person who does not have a window seat.<br />So they can look too, and not crane around you to have a view as well?<br />Hope you had a wonderful trip<br />xx<br />julieJulie Whitmore Potteryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12283540996942265818noreply@blogger.com
