The term mile-high club (or MHC) is a slang term applied collectively to individuals who have sexual intercourse while on board a flying aircraft. There is no known formally constituted club so named. However, since "membership" of the "club" is really a matter of an individual asserting they have qualified, the qualifications for membership are open to some interpretation. One explanation for the act is the vibration of the plane, which may speed or improve arousal. Some say they have fantasies about pilots or flight attendants, or a fetish about planes themselves. For others, the appeal of joining the MHC is the thrill of doing something taboo and the thrill of the risk of being discovered. ==History== An early reference to the concept is found in the betting book for Brooks's, a London gentlemen's club. The 1785 entry (only two years after the first successful balloon ascent by Étienne Montgolfier) reads: "Ld. Cholmondeley has given two guineas to Ld. Derby, to receive 500 Gs whenever his lordship fucks a woman in a balloon one thousand yards from the Earth."〔L. G. Mitchell's biography of Charles James Fox. (Quoted in Google Books )〕 (However, there is no further indication that the bet was paid, or even how they would check it if it was claimed.) A website using the name ''Mile-High Club'' regards the "Club's" "founder" as pilot and design engineer Lawrence Sperry〔(Sperry Inc. History ). Sperryinc.com.

The Airbus A380's twelve first class cabins have double beds, but they are not soundproof. Shortly after the introduction of the cabins the airline asked first class passengers to respect the other passengers.〔(''Airline bans A380 mile-high club'') ''BBC News'' online, 31 October 2007 ).
