a commercial airliner with two aisles
-
A twin-aisle airplane, also known as a wide-body airplane, is a large aircraft characterized by having two passenger aisles, typically allowing for seven or more seats abreast with two aisles running from the front to the back of the passenger cabin. This means they are wider compared to single-aisle airplanes and can typically carry more passengers. They are often used for long-haul flights. Examples include the Boeing 747, 777, or the Airbus A330 and A350.
