Boeing test pilots have subjected the new 747-8 Freighter to some extreme testing. The plane has been dragged, dropped, soaked, forced to hover, shudder and flutter.

The great thing about the 747 is that, from it's introduction in the 1970s to now, only one crash was associated with the design of the aircraft. All of the other crashs were pilot error.

Putting a plane with that size in a stall would be scary as hell...

If you ask me, the 747 is the best aircraft in modern aviation. Great record to back it as well. And just beautiful.

They both represent massive leaps in aviation history. Im personally a boeing man, much the same way one could be either a Ford or a Chev fan. Yet, thats all part of the fun of it. Here in Sydney, the A380 is the king of the skies. It makes wide, slow turns around the city every time it lands, but I'd love to see the 747-8 make a a debut here too. There's just something special about the Boeing. Must be the hump.

+Anthony Kernich You'd need some solid nerves to force your untested plane into a stall though. That's the catch of being a test pilot: Everything you do is an experiment.

What i love about Boeing's is the control stick. I prefer the full Yoke setup as opposed to the Airbus's joystick only on one side of the plane. the Boeing gives you the more, in control, feeling when you fly.

Nuts - I was hoping they would do a hard landing test. Back in the 1970's, I saw a film clip of the first 747 being subjected to such a test - it was awesome! The test consisted of doing a standard landing approach, but without the flare just before touchdown - they basically flew it right into the runway. When the wheels hit the runway, the impact made the wings flap up and down, and the engines wobble from side to side to a degree that was amazing!

Long live the wonderful B747! Can there possibly be a better proven heavy aircraft? The 747 project abounded in uncompromising design and engineering which happily resulted in an aesthetically satisfying jumbo as well. The 747's flight record, shape, superb massive triple slotted trailing edge flaps, heavily swept-back wings, beefy undercarriage & excellent cockpit designs make it my (ultimate?) favourite heavy weight modern jet... :-)

@sammvoyager 7 жыл бұрын

The new improvements --ie; payload capacities, engine thrust, etc. For years now they fill em with water barrels to simulate the weight of passengers & luggage. Also, they perform a final delivery flight test with the airline pilots behind the yoke at Paine Field north of Seattle Washington. If I recall, a 747 can handle 20,000 landing cycles before it's retired due to the metal stress caused by the takeoff&landings and pressurization. 747 can last for 20+ years because they fly long range & experience much less takeoff&landing cycles vs smaller A/C. A 747 fuselage expands by 12 inches in diameter after full pressurization causing metal fatigue where the rivets (fasteners) are used to fasten the skin to the spars (aka frames).

The 747-8 is the newer version of the 747. The original queen on the sky, 747 was a fuel guzzler, so the 747-8 uses much less fuel and is more Eco-friendly. It's even more quiet when it takes off and lands. Lastly , the famous hump on the top of the 747 is longer on the 747-8 to accommodate more passengers and to compete with her new rival the A-380
