While I get that the more recent aircraft are nicer looking, I feel it would be more appropriate if new equipment was introduced in a somewhat chronological order. It’d be strange to start with 21st century jets and then add older ones later.
As one of the oldest planes still in operation, I’d love to see the 747 lead the line of large aircraft. However, in this context I can understand if people prefer progression in terms of size rather than age.
Also, as I understand it each tile is approximated to 1 m (thus each foundation block is 4 m x 4 m). So the medium stands allows roughly 7 blocks for the aircraft, representing about 32 m, about average for most narrow bodies currently in the game. The largest wide body aircraft average about 70 m in length, which would require about 18 foundation blocks. Just interesting to think about how big these stands are going to have to be.
