Bad Predictions
"The 747 will operate just below the speed of sound and will carry up
to 490 passengers - three times the capacity of the jets which have
dominated the airways for the past 10 years. As large inside as a
small ocean liner, the 747 will offer more luxurious seating space,
entertainment for all ages of passengers (including play areas for
youngsters) and not least of all, the jumbo jet will bring a sharp
break in passenger fares."
- Henry Still, Man: The Next 30 Years, 1968.
