The Boeing plant in Everett, WA just released details on the remake of the 747, the 747-800. It's predecessor is 40 years old. The new 747-8 Intercotinental is 18 fee longer than the 747-400 which allows for an additional 51 passengers in a three-class seating arrangement. The 747-8 borrows some of the technology and interior design of Boeing's latest plane, the 787 Dreamliner.
Boeing wanted to find a way to make travelers forget the hassle of traveling at ungodly hours to get to the airport, fighting traffic jams, looking for parking, lugging heavy baggage and waiting in security lines for what seems hours. Boeing feels that by pumping up the interiors, making more space possible in the lower deck, offering the "Sky Loft" situated ove the rear half of the plane created for a lounge or business area. The interiors will be upgraded significantly also. The 747's unique interior an structural design will provide passengers with a new experience and a new way to fly.
We can't wait for the roll out!
