I love the 74-8...especially in that livery and especially in the Freight version... just another wonderful piece of engineering from the gods at Boeing...
@Ashrak2002 No that's wrong. You mean the max. take-off weight, which is about 1 million pounds/450 tons (Antonov 600 tons) The max. payload capacitiy is 140 tons. (Antonov 250 tons)
I can attest to the fuel savings. The average fuel loads that we had to put on the 400s for the flight from yyc to lux, was 98-110 tons. The new with the new 8fs the highest I had to put on so far was 97.2 tons of go juice. averaging from 89-92 tons. Pretty significant if you ask me.
@garysungkw, yes. The wing design is similar to that of the 787 Dreamliner. If you look closely on the experimental version shown in the clip, you'll see it.
Candidate KC-Y tanker: Twin engine (GE-90/PW4000 series engines) 747-8 freighter with extended upper deck, shortened empennage (747SP length) to lighten airframe, with KC-46A tanker facilities installed. Install winglets for increased efficiency and reduced turbulence to facilitate outboard refueling aircraft at refueling pods located at the previous outboard engine wing stations. Cargo in the bottom, PAX on the top with fighters in echelon formation crossing the ocean to the FOB.
Boeing please make sure Air New Zealand gets the 747-8I with a 50% Discount New Zealander's miss the 747-400 already Boeing give Air New Zealand 2-5 Boeing 747-8I's or 6 747-8's these will be a wonderful Plane for Air New Zealand

That is one huge aircraft. A plane on the ground makes no money. Keep that thing in the air! Wicked awesome.
Awesome! I can't WAIT to fly on the 747-8 passenger version!!!
Badass. The Queen of the Skies gets better!
unbeliveable airplane. thanks to boeing, seattle and U.S. greetings from Zagreb, Croatia.
I`ve seen her yesterday at Luxembourg Airport.... Wonderful plane !!!
A whole new era for the 747 begins. Awesome.
Are they using a "NEW" designed wing on 747-8? But I can't see any "Curve" on the new Cargolux 747-8.

WoW... Boing and airbus are really great, they always surprise by developing something bigger and better from time to time...
Wow, revenue service on delivery day?! First time I heard about his.
I love the look of the 747 with its new lush wings.meanwhile in France the abirbus a380 wings are crackin.airbus
Awesome! Glad to see more 747's in the air.

This beast has already been to Budapest twice :))
Nice, but I prefer the 747-400 in terms of looks :3
@Acduche130 what complication?...both require a k loader...whether or not you have to raise the k loader takes and extra 5 seconds of time...big deal
Capt. Funk... Awesome.
@garysungkw, yes. The wing design is similar to that of the 787 Dreamliner. If you look closely on the experimental version shown in the clip, you'll see it.
When is it coming to kord?
I hope the 747-8 fly's into DFW!
Boeing rocks :P
just look at complication when loading it, i mean they could learn something from antonov
Epic!
Boeing I have been to boing field when 2 C130s where circling over head, one of them was the blue angles Fat Albert
I did like the a380 now I like the boeing more than Airbus Boeing is cooler and the 747 is the fastest plane is in it's size
@partyhouse88 You ever seen the Convair 990?
