@abbie.cheeseman: Twin-engine planes were BANNED from crossing oceans until 1985 and then the Boeing 767 changed everything with ETOPS ✈️🌊 #aviationhistory #etops #boeing767 #LearnOnTikTok #TikTokLearningCampaign
the boeing 767 revolutionized long haul twin engine operations, but now it contains a “funny” number.

TikTok is crazy, I was literally ~just~ reading about this on Wikipedia ~today~, there’s a whole section about ETOPS in the article about 767s.

The ICAO had a 90min rule and the Airbus A300 was the first twin engine plane certified to fly over the oceans in 1977.

This has a lot to do with engines becoming more powerful due to engineering advances, as time goes on. A modern airliner can fly a fair distance with only one operational engine, if the other one quits running. The jets from the 60’s and 70’s would be struggling to stay airborne with only one engine running.

actually the first twin jet airplane that was able to cross overseas was the Airbus a300 but the ETOPS didnt exist in the early 1970s

Pardon my American education but, how is a diversion point 120 minutes in the middle of an ocean?
