When KLM ordered its 747s in 1969, the airline wanted to give its passengers an idea of how massive the plane actually was. So they took something familiar and applied it to the plane in a way their Dutch customers could relate. The end result was this creative, compelling illustration.
KLM had a full-scale outline of the 747 painted on the ramp at Amsterdam’s Schiphol Airport. The entire outline measured 1,230.3 feet, and was completed by two painters.
