That would have been a sight to see for sure.
I think the flying public and airlines will love the new 747-800I once it comes into service.
The 747-800I is really the plane the 747 was meant to be, but, the timing had to be right, and the technology.
If the airlines buy it in numbers, Boeing managed to come up with a winner again, and the best part is with minimum cost and the tooling is paid for except for some of the tooling that's for any new technology for the 747-800I.
I wonder ? do you have direct connections with Boeing ?
The part of the plane were it bends in with the wing and fuselage were the triangle ram air vents are , the the bottom carriage and landing gear to just behind the landing gear.
I once saw a photo on a web sight and a part of ( I guess it's called a shroud ) was torn off, and it looked as if it was all aluminum.
I was wondering ? can they ( Boeing ) make the skin panels of the shroud out of composites instead of aluminum ?
