The 747-8 is undoubtedly the 'sexiest' 747 version ever built - all the proportions are just right & it's the most elegant airliner in the skies today, especially wearing the timeless LH livery! Probably last of the great big four engined jets though - too bad... Just *love* the sound of those huge fans spooling up from 3:00 onwards. Oh and btw: Who on earth are those 25 people who don't like this vid?? Great filming, thx for sharing this :-)
Wow...what a beautiful ‘bird’ - the way she rolls down the runway and takes off so gracefully. I bet her destination is Frankfurt, Germany. I have taken this flight many times and can only say great things about this airline. Thanks for sharing this this great video.
Absolutely Stunning! After spending night after night after night studying for my engineering courses and finally understanding the science behind it all its a great feeling.
itsmegp46 Is that really true? That is weird. The 747-8 is a very good aircraft. Silent, and very fuel efficient. Lufthansa German Airlines is known to buy planes from Boeing and Airbus and also Embraer (for regional destinations), they do not have one manufacturer-only. In Germany, they did many prize quizzes and promotion tours for their new B747-8 fleet and they are very proud of them as they are proud of their A380!
Splendid video! Thank you for catching the takeoff on May 30th, my grandmother was on that flight, and I couldn't keep my tradition of shooting family takeoffs up then. My mom was there with a phone to get some pics, I think she mentioned some spotters with good equipment atop cars, I believe that's you lol. Keep up the great work, the shot on 31st was wow, awesome.
incredible power from those 4 genx engines. the rain spray excellently emphasizes just how much thrust those 4 engines are producing to get that girl shifting from stand still to take off.
BA are looking at buying the 747-8 to replace some of there 747-4. But they are still have not decided. It is between the 747-800 and the A380. I really hope we see more 747-800 for passenger service.
Awesome video! I added this one to my favorites! Boeing has delivered 50 747-8's so far, and Lufthansa said that they are ordering more! Korean Air is also getting the passenger version, although I don't know when.
The Boeing 747-8 (and 747-400) are the 21st Century version of Star Trek TOSs Constitution-Class Starship. Beautiful aircraft that is always a pleasure to fly on. It is a shame that most airlines are phasing it out for the A350 or B777/787. They are definitely the "Queen Of The Skies".
I flew this baby from Chicago to Frankfurt over Christmas. Lovely. Of course it helps that they are all almost brand new planes, unlike United's clunkers.
phil123711 Because their planes are so old, half the time something doesn't work. Like the video screen. Which BTW, if your screen gets stuck and stops playing, they cannot reset it without resetting ALL the monitors. (because the planes are so old, that's how it works) I had this discussion with the Flight Attendant. The headphone plugs don't even click any more. They just slide in. And if you move, they come out. Their 767's are the worst. Fortunately, there are laws regarding the flightworthiness of planes. Otherwise, they wouldn't even service them. United customer service is the rudest in the world.
Typical Miami Florida weather and this state has unpredictable weather patterns all over the entire state,but who cares we love to visit FL anytime we like.
THC - actually, although no aircraft is quiet, the B748 is quieter than the A380 by a good bit. Where does your knowledge come from? Ohh... now I understand.

So much for timeless...
There's a reason why she's called 'the queen', incredible power and beauty!
The 747 is,without a doubt,the most beautiful commercial aircraft to have ever taken to the air
The dash 8 is just such a graceful bird. I love the scalloped fan cowl outlets, really dresses things up a bit.

Look at the jet blast from that behemoth, four GEnx engines each producing up to 80K lbs of thrust!
The 747-8I looks so much better than the freighter version IMO.... that long upper deck looks great :)
The queen of the skies.
I find it particularly shameful that no US airliner has ordered a single 747-8.
Atlas Air operates 747-8F.
***** Thanks, but I was really referring to the passenger operators.
itsmegp46 No market for them

Pascal Gienger Checking Wiki, they have listed the number of 747-8's and which airlines have ordered them. Yes it is true.
The newest Queen of the Skies takes off! Very beautiful.
This jumbo jet look twice as good as that A380 flying pg of a plane
+macspirit2012 ICONIC MA FRIEND.
Such a beautiful plane!
Eu comi um casal nesse avião
Adoro meter em um cuzinho
Beijo meus amores

Aw I didn't know they were considering both. Pity they went the way they did :(
marcus holmes a380 goes out of production next year
747-400s are being retired by 777X. 747-8s will remain. The A380s are being reactivated next summer.
So beautiful and majestic!
This is a great video! (Nice angle and shot) I love the sound of those Genx-2b especially during the spooling part.
It certainly is a much more beautiful aircraft that the A 380!!!!!
@3:05 Adore that spool up sound.
The Boeing 747 is just attractive, PLAIN AND SIMPLE.
I was under the impression that the A380 uses less fuel than the 747. Great video, very close to the action.
Awesome video! I added this one to my favorites! Boeing has delivered 50 747-8's so far, and Lufthansa said that they are ordering more! Korean Air is also getting the passenger version, although I don't know when.
who'd have ever thought the 747 could be such a quiet aircraft!
Impressive,isnt it?
The GEnx are absolutely amazing.
best 747 take off video imo
Lufthansa's livery suits the 747 very nicely. I think I may have seen a 747-800 at LAX a couple months back.
Where are the other vids of the 747-8 in service ?
beautiful video
Such a beautiful creature.
Great capture.
The engines sure work lovely take off
This is the inaugral flight right?
I wish it was selling better. I'm really saddened to hear that Boeing is considering discontinuing that beauty.
OfficialMarcos'sVideos Well, as you probably know by now UPS has just ordered 14 of these majestic 747-8's.
i hope boeing dont stop production of the 747-8 i went on a air airbus a340 i was not impressed the next trip i went on a 747-400 much better.
Great video. One of the best bits of film I've seen on You Tube.
Its correctly that it is based on the GE90 engine,but not the -115B.. it is based on the GE90-94B :)
Quite spectacular ! Great footage of this beauty !
Thanks for your videos
00:00:30: Amazing. Just next to the highway.
Haha I appreciate that man! Maybe some day I will :)
Sexy!! A380 looks like a flying cow :p
Mauser yes
why is it temporarily replacing the A388?
Today is expensive to maintain a 747-8, but what a beautiful aircraft.
0:44 why do you zoom in so much?
Variety.
the plane looks awesome from this angle of view
clap! clap! clap! the most beautiful aircraft ever made.
man the GEnx engines sound like the GE90 since the GEnx Technology was borrowed from the GE90-115B
Very nice plane and super quiet, but the nose stretch looks awkward as hell... it just can't be balanced right.
the A346 75m is shorter than the -8 76m
Absolute beauty. The 380 is ugly.
What amazing the 747-8 it is thank you
I have nothing against the A380, but I have been flying the 747 since its TWA days. I trust it, I love it.
why didn't united order any of these beauties? (did they?)
Isn’t she lovely
Great sound off those big engines
awesome video!
O 747 na minha opinião é muito lindo, depois vem os trimotores que também são muito bonitos.
Wow. Great angle and position.
A lot quieter than it's predecessors still a beautiful aircraft.
the engines are just the same sound of the Boeing 777, am I right?
GEnx-2B is an advanced derivative of the GE90 (Boeing 777) and has similar architecture
not exactly ;)
Closer to the 787 Dreamliner as far as I know
Spectacular, subscribed!
The mighty "Queen of the skies"
💯💙🥂
Awesome!
i think he meant long airplane
You should fly FRA-MIA or MIA-FRA with the 748! Couldn't ask a better person to do the job than you.
Even thou the A380 is ugly some what, its performance is so much quieter at take off
you can feel the power in the A380 from all four engines.
Your very welcome Chris miss you.
Jeffrey Cyrus and this one doesn’t?
Nice Video!
Nice engine sound!!

That is insanely quiet
Long plane :D I know its not much longer than A346 but it does look long!
Great job. Love the 748.
Cuando regresa Lufthansa a Peru.
Magnificent. Simply...magnificent...
The "hump" is TOO LONG (visually speaking).
Pali Aha I think that's what makes this plane in general. it's a thing of beauty 😍
for those who just want to see the takeoff: Video starts at 3:00. Thank me later
thank you for letting us know
Great Video Mate Thats A Very Big Like And Fav And Happy New Year Mate And Sub.
Hi I have flown in them all the 747 200, 747 300, 747 400 747SP just got to fly in the newest 747-8 can't wait have a nice day
the great 747 ! my fav. list : 1) Galaxy C-5 ... 2) Airbus A380 ... 3) Antonov 124 ... 4) Boeing 747 .
Wow its so quiet!
at 0:44 the plane looks awesome
good video..the best airplane
over all the -8 is longer than the A346 by just 1 meter
One can hear the power!
the plane is the largest airliner *BY LENGTH NOT SIZE!* that would be the A380
or AN-225 Mega planes
What a BEAST! Strap me to the wing, please. :))
I flew this baby from Chicago to Frankfurt over Christmas. Lovely. Of course it helps that they are all almost brand new planes, unlike United's clunkers.
Rickos Smith If someone is interested, I will tell you why I call United planes clunkers.
Why?

3:06 GENX!!!!
Typical Miami Florida weather and this state has unpredictable weather patterns all over the entire state,but who cares we love to visit FL anytime we like.
Just love the 747-8 , the a380 is ugly as hell !
When A380 takeoff its 50% more quieter than B747
THC
- actually, although no aircraft is quiet, the B748 is quieter than the A380 by a good bit. Where does your knowledge come from? Ohh... now I understand.
THC whenever you're lifting 100+ tons off the grounds there's nothing quiet about that no matter what kind of engines you use!!!
Magnificent 💙🥂
sounds somewhat like a 777
Idk why but it just looks bigger than the a 380
In any case the 747 is longer.
So graceful, more than A380.
Lovely, truely the queen of the sky!
sounds similar to a 777300ER
I love the 747-8 !
