747 weight distribution
Hello, this is an odd question of curiosity from an amateur: Two days
ago I was flying from Dulles to LHR on a United 747-400. The aircraft taxied to the end of the runway, then the pilot announced there was a problem with the weight distribution on the aircraft wings, and we would have to move passengers to compensate. For the next half hour, cabin crew moved passengers around, apparently from economy to business, and then we took off. Is this normal? Can passengers body weight really make a difference on a huge aircraft like a 747?
