Isn't it possible that the designers anticipated flight travel to increase? I've gotta believe these folks had foresight.

I'm sure they did, but they probably expected it to happen the way it had in the preceding decades: more planes, not more people per plane.

This is proof that very intelligent people sometimes say the dumbest of things. When they designed the cabins in the early 1950s the 63% stat was yet to exist. So the idea it had any effect on the design of the cabin is a logical fallacy. What an odd tweet!

They would have been pretty sloppy designers if they didn't know what current load factors were.

Hey Paul. Where'd you find this info? Are you looking into airplane design?
-
I searched Google for a graph of load factors. No!

2 things: 1) flying was a LOT more expensive, load factors are a part of why it’s cheaper. 2) the 707 was the first successful jet; the designers had no idea what load factors would be... at the time they designed it the dominant commercial plane was the dc-3 with ~30 seats

Yes, I know load factors increased with deregulation. The 707 was not competing with the DC-3. More like the Lockheed Constellation.

I had a stint working with interiors researchers at Boeing & the design process of the various monuments doesn't use expected load factors. In fact, it assumes the worst case scenario (100% utilization) & attempts to optimize for those cases. Round tubes are fairly constrained.

You assume the designers had the 63% stat in mind when designing? Seems quite absurd
