how big can you build an airplane so that it can still fly at all?
where is the limit?

Skydiving feeling
Bygoterlii
Hello, I have a question how is the feeling when you jump out of a parachute is it like when you ride a roller coaster from the top to the bottom or is it different. I have also heard that it is not the case that you fall as fast as the airplane flies and…
Unidentified flying object?
I saw a strange flying object in the sky this morning. It flew extremely slowly and was clearly visible. I'm guessing it's some kind of drone, but it might be something else. At least I can definitely rule out a normal airplane.
What do you need for a tornado?
Let's assume you've managed to purchase a demobilized Panavia Tornado 200. What do you need to fly it privately?
Do you collect Miles&More miles and if so, how?
Do you collect Miles&More miles and if so, how? How many do you have and is it really worth collecting them for you? I don't fly often, but I would like to fly business class and pay for it with miles.
Eurowings reminder?
Hey, I have a question. I received a double credit from Eurowings, which I didn't notice. I'm currently in the process of being credited, and in negotiations, that's completely fine. My question is, does anyone know if it will cause problems for me on my next flight at the airport, or is it from Eurowings'…
In theory there is no limit. An even larger aircraft than the A380 would require even larger wings that lift the aircraft. It would have to be “simple” anything bigger. But at some point, I’d be worried if the runway would keep the weight. Of course, the runways have to be longer. Just a question of money. Another limit for the size swan is, of course, that there is no longer a market for an aircraft if it is oversized. Why to let half full giant planes fly through the area, if it also creates smaller machines to transport passengers.
The essential point is the structural strength. There will no longer be any material that can withstand the loads that occur. Nowadays, even more flexible material compositions are used, sandwich layers made of aluminum foil and fiberglass fabric e.g. In the future, nanoreinforced FVWs will certainly be used, Carbonnanotubes are a promising technology.
Rolling fields can be enlarged as desired, floor loads can be distributed by more chassis, engine power can be multiplied by more engines, etc.
Finally, however, as already said above, no one will actually build such a “maximum” aircraft because no one will buy it. There is no need for this.
Well, if the aircraft has more mass, you need more power. the stability of the support surfaces must also be taken into account in the construction.
The limit is where the supporting surfaces would be too wide for the rolling field
not slehct, but you can enlarge a rollercoaster!
Why don’t you just look at wikipedia?
