Cabins, at true scale

Same silhouette. Same scale. The cross-section tells you everything.

A 1.78 m (5′10″) figure stands inside each cabin. Heights and widths are drawn 1:1 against each other — no foreshortening, no flattering angles.

Floorplan comparison

Top-down, drawn to inches.

Each plan is an inch-accurate digital twin — seats, divans, galley, lavatory and baggage drawn to the same scale. Aircraft without a curated floorplan are omitted.
