Concorde. The Olympus engines alone were a masterpiece. The only other plane that comes close for me is the DC-3.

Used to fly from Perth to Barrow Island on one of these stubby boys. They're super quiet, apparently can land on a gravel airstrip and the service from Cobham was actually quite good.
The flight I used to take was to a Chevron gas plant. On the back of the seat in front, where your screen might be, Chevron had placed these eerie, dystopian stickers with slogans like: YOUR FAMILY LOVES YOU, WE DO IT SAFELY OR NOT AT ALL, etc.

Working with them as much as I do, along with flying them to LCY a fair amount they are loud as shit inside and out. Absolute stunners though, lovely to see in a sea of A320s and B737s

Pretty sure nearly every airline save a couple have crammed 9 across in the 787 and 10 across in the 777. Sardine cans are the norm nowadays. They can't physically cram more in the A330 though, it's just wide enough to make every seat a bit more comfortable, but not wide enough that airlines can cram a 9th seat. It's wonderful.

Source? Pretty sure the 787, being smaller and narrower than the 777, was not designed from the outset for 3-3-3. I'm aware it's an option, but I doubt it was originally intended during development. The seats are even tighter at 9 abreast than a 10 abreast 777

I flew these dozens of times, I would always notice and my workmates always mention how quiet it is.
From Wikipedia:
>The BAe 146 is also renowned for its relatively quiet operation, a positive feature that appealed to those operators that wanted to provide services to noise-sensitive airports within cities. The aircraft is one of only a few types that can be used on flights to London City Airport, which has a steep approach and short runway; for several years, the BAe 146 was the only conventional jet aircraft capable of flying from London City Airport.
