New Boeing 747-8

[Evil Techie]

Boeing's solution to the efficiency of Airbus A380 is to somewhat give a 747 the advantages of its 777 and 787

behold, the 747-8

suppose to save 6% more money for seat-mileage cost than A380

engine specs just came out
GE will supply GEnx-2B67
747-8 will be rated at 66,500 lb of thrust

we probably wont see this plane until 2008~2009 though

Nice plane, I've never been on an airplane that's got beds like those. Im just curious as to which airlines actually configures their planes with beds like that.

I've always loved the 747 (which is funny because I almost despise the A380).. it's such a well established and refined product from Boeing.

I think I'm actually happier they would keep the same brand product and just revised for capacity and efficiency, rather than making an entirely new aircraft.

Its a fake pic. He got an image of a KLM 747-400 and just stretched it, adding more fuselage. In other words its just photochopped@!
