[edit] Boeing exclusive use of plug doors?
FTA: "Commercial aircraft manufactured by Boeing use plug doors exclusively, including the 737, 747, 757, 767 and the 777."
United Airlines Flight 811 shows that Boeing did at some point use outward opening cargo doors on the 747. (still does?) Therefore i marked the quote as needing a citation. 81.221.99.191 19:34, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
Whereas I've deleted that sentence since my take is that the outward-opening cargo bay door on the 747 shows that Boeing does not use plug doors exclusively. --Dricherby 19:07, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] In the event of decompression...
However, in the event of a decompression, with there no longer being a pressure differential, the doors may be opened, and as such most airlines operating procedures require cabin crew to keep passengers away from the doors until the aircraft has safely landed.
Why would the doors be opened? Would they "pop open" by themselves or be opened by cabin crew? Acdx 01:12, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
