While Dreamliner is Delayed, Boeing Unveils a new 747

The latest version of the most recognized airplane in the world was introduced yesterday in Everett, Washington.

The bigger, quieter and more fuel efficient 747-8 is configured to seat 400-500 passengers, with a more pronounced upper deck (big top).

The 747-8 will have many of the technological breakthroughs and features of the Dreamliner. Lighter alloys, lesser carbon emmissions, and lower operating costs are the key selling points. 33 passenger jets are already on order.
