Which is COMPLETE NONSENSE.

No its not. Nothing you have said supports your contention.

It is certainly not EASY

Yes it is. That's why Boeing chose to do fuselage mods with their 747
LCF

and the size of stretch
you're talking about is IMPOSSIBLE.

No it isn't. You are making gratuitous statements, so they can be
gratuitously denied. Obviously I'm giving you solid data based on
real-world experience.

Clearly, Boeing already has instituted a 12 meter stretch in their
existing 747 line. The 747X/X was to be even longer. There is
nothing that says that a 22% increase in fuselage length is impossible
when a 15% increase has already been achieved..

I even gave examples of where this has been done to existing aircraft.

Where have you given an example of a TWENTY METRE stretch as you
suggested ?

Graham, you really should respond to what I said, not what you think.
haha.. I guess its a reflection of your poor mental condition. Fact
is Graham I gave examples of both fuselage length AND fuselage
diameter increases that exceeded any requirement imposed by lower
density hydrogen AND increased payloads it allows.

Boeing used this approach to create the 747 LCF because its a lot cheaper
than
building
a plane from scratch. They cited the low cost of doing this relative
to building a custom built aircraft.

It is custom designed to carry 787 fuselages. It is not designed for general
cargo use or indeed passenger use.

So? Its still cheaper than building a new airplane from scratch.

The struture simply isn't suitable.

For what Graham?

To do what
you suggest would indeed require designing a totally new aircraft.

No it wouldn't.
