What Are The Widest Widebody Passenger Planes?

The L-ten-eleven is probably my favourite non-Concorde aircraft that doesn’t really fly anymore. It was so far ahead of its time that it even bought its own tombstone.

There should be a plane that has 14+ seats per row, in a 4-6-4 seat configuration. Or with a triple aisle in a 3-4-4-3 seat configuration. Just make the B767 body wider.

[@fuzzwork]

docono molo IIRC regulations say passengers should only have to climb over two other seats to reach an aisle, so 3-6-3 might be the widest possible twin aisle config, if there were a plane wide enough to fit it.

Also, the A350 at 5.96 m is in same basket as the 3 engine planes L-1011, DC10, MD11.
