first flight and of course landing
she `s BIG

Note the shark tooth nacell(engine cowl)..and the flex in the wings
the new 747-8 wings will flex even more

i saw it take off. man that thing is quiet once it gets in the air. and it must have some big hp. look at the size of the engines!

I stood inside the cowl and could not touch the top,I needed another 4 feet or more its very close to a 777 and thats 14feet inside

No winglets !not in the design ..as much as they flex you dont need winglets look at the right wing all the way out on the end ..ps there a 737under that wing you can just see the tail,,they just keep the wing from flapping like a bird and that saved fuel as well ..Boeing only started putting those on maybe 5 years back...737 has 6' winglets, 747 has 6' winglets go figure

I dont know if they(Airbus) shotpeen J.P ...none on this aircraft! all other Boeing aircraft wingskins and some of the double plus cords,spars did as well! as far as $ Its gonna take some years to make said nickel....first one going to All Nippon Airlines late 2010 lets hope

.Airbus is not composite Mr Jmill this is a first..hence making history

trying 737 composite next 737-1000

18feet of wing flex AFAIK

yes wing issue solved or there would have been no flight...sub contracted wingbox to body. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) ...AKA gas tank! yes your setting on the tanks (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

Chase plane is indeed a t-38 and the photo was taken by the other t-38 .....34 or 38 I think 38..could be wrong ..i will verify

Flex you ant seen nutt`n yet what tell she`s fully load with fuel and people with luggage in this photo she`s low on fuel with just some computer equipment inside


One more little side note ...remember the Boeing(old plane) 309 that crashed into Union Bay(Seattle) maybe 4-5 years back "ran out of fuel"....SAME PILOT (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif) there was some jokes fly`n,,, no pun intended (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif)
