Contouring the hitherto square AVE container can produce an extra 40 per cent capacity, but this entails sacrifice of compatibility with the L-1011 TriStar fleet. To get over this problem, British Airways is experimenting with an expandable container, officially designated AVD, which can fit the L-1011 and which can be reconfigured in less than half a minute. Twenty such "concertina" containers went into experimental service in May of this year....  1, record 3, English, - expandable%20container

Pour y remédier, British Airways expérimente en ce moment un nouveau conteneur "extensible" officiellement désigné AVD, qui est adapté au L-1011 et dont on peut changer la forme en moins de 30 secondes. Une vingtaine de ces conteneurs "accordéons" ont été mis en service il y a quelques mois à titre expérimental (...)  1, record 3, French, - conteneur%20extensible
