CAN VERY LARGE PASSENGER PLANES ACCOMMODATE FUTSAL COURT ?

Yes, if the planes are of "Y-fuselage" design.


On 13 Oktober 2018, Malaysian newspapers have reported that the Prime Minister of Malaysia, Tun Mahathir Mohamad has expressed his vision that future large passenger planes may be able to accommodate futsal court (PM bayang kapal terbang masa depan ada futsal). Sports recreational facilities like futsal court will be useful for very long distance and long period flight that exceeds 12 hours. Large aircraft engine technology has evolved significantly to enable such flight, but large aircraft design, particularly that of very large passenger planes still has not. The design to accommodate very large number of passengers is done basically by only increasing the diameter and length of the fuselage, which have a practical limit.

I have produced a few concepts with new fuselage design to accommodate much greater number of passengers without increasing the practical diameter and length of the fuselage called, "Y-fuselage", as the fuselage resembles the capital letter "Y". This fuselage enables large passenger planes remain at the practical size of Boeing 747, but can carry twice the number of passengers with sports recreational facilities such as futsal court.

A conceptual design called, "Why600" with a length and wingspan of 64.0m (the size of Boeing 747 & smaller than Airbus A380) can carry up to 600 passengers (including 30 business class passengers) and a recreational futsal court. 



Another conceptual design called, "Why1000" with the same length and wingspan can carry up to 1000 passengers without a futsal court, and 500 passengers with a minimum size (16m X 25m) competition futsal court.



To avoid the center of gravity from being located too far at the rear, as most of the passengers are seated at the rear, the engines are moved forward - the reason the 3 engines of Why1000 are positioned quite forward.

However, Why600 and Why1000 need to perform HALE (high altitude & long endurance) flight (> 18,000m from sea level & > 12 hours duration) above all possible atmospheric turbulence to enable safe & practical futsal recreational activities and competition.

Instead of futsal court, the aircrafts however may accommodate other recreational facilities such as auditorium or theater. The following is Why600 accommodating 2 auditoriums with 120 seats each. Each auditorium seat is equipped with seat belt for the safety of the passengers when the plane flies through turbulence at lower altitudes.


I have posted "Y-fuselage large passenger plane" for the first time on facebook on 21 September 2018:



Both Why600 and Why1000 are the content of "50 CONCEPT AIRCRAFTS", the book I am completing to commemorate my 50th birthyear in 2019.

ZEV FULLY ENCLOSED-CABIN ELECTRIC SCOOTERS WILL BE AVAILABLE IN MALAYSIA IN 2019

Image
ZEV, a USA-based manufacturer light electric vehicles will make its fully-enclosed cabin electric 3-wheeled scooters available in Malaysia through its distributor and agents beginning 2019, particularly 3 models, which are expected to be popular in the country. The models are a 3-seat all-weather commuting scooter, a 3-seat light utility scooter and a single-row seat pickup scooter. All three models are fully electric-powered, 3-wheeled and have fully enclosed cabin for effective everyday usage in the country which receive high intensity sunlight and heavy rain all year. The first model, called T3-1 is commuting scooter that can accommodate 3 adults with 2 passengers at the rear seats. This scooter is suitable for everyday commuting with or without passengers. The 2nd model is 3-seat utility vehicle. This model is suitable to be used by city councils and cleaning contractors because it can carry 2 workers and has a platform with a suitable size to carr...

WHAT TYPE OF COMBAT AIRCRAFT SHOULD MALAYSIA BUILD IN 2030?

Image
Recently there are voices among Malaysians including the Minister of Defense that Malaysia should build its own combat aircraft by 2030, but what type of combat aircraft should Malaysia build? There is a group of lecturers from a local university who are eager to build 6th generation fighter, but after realizing that such is impractical, have downgraded their eagerness to 5th generation fighter. But still, is 5th generation fighter practical for Malaysia? Up to date, 5th generation fighters that are actively in service are the American F-35 and F-22, while the Russian Su-57 is expected to join the list very soon, and the Chinese J-20 is yet to be proven. These 3 countries are not only very large, but also have very large air force and other countries are buying fighters from them, and for them, having 5th generation fighters is not only a military combat requirement, but also a military industry requirement. For these countries, having the ability to produce 5th generation ...

MALAYSIAN MISSILE RETALIATION POLICY TO COUNTER SINGAPORE PRE-EMPTIVE STRIKE POLICY

Image
Singapore seems to be very proud of its pre-emptive strike policy where the country will strike its neighboring countries with the objective to disable those countries to strike Singapore. This is very typical policy for a small country that is over-confident of its military capability compared to its neighboring bigger countries, but anyway has been successfully demonstrated by Israel against its neighbors at many occasions. Malaysia particularly is concerned about this policy, and Malaysia should implement its own policy to counter this policy that will discourage Singapore to execute any pre-emptive strike on Malaysia. The total area of Singapore is only 720kmsq or 0.2% of Malaysian total land area. It is a very small country, compared to Malaysia, only slightly bigger than some city council areas in Malaysia. This very significant difference between Malaysia and Singapore should serve as a guide for Malaysia to implement a specific anti-Singapore pre-emptive policy. Not...
