The Worst Selling Commercial Airliners

Hello again! :D

While many great commercial airliners have come and gone, each of which delivering a unique perspective on the concept of what design and technological features might be used to improve flight performance and passenger experience, most weren't guaranteed sales success, and failing to meet their financial break-even or proposed full production run.

As the success of models like the Boeing 737, Boeing 747, Airbus A320 and A330 has been well-documented, in this video we'll be looking at the losers, those models which, despite all their innovation, failed to make a return on investment and break-even, falling into obscurity while their competitors continue to thrive.
