Kaktus Air 747-8 Intercontinental

[airlegoland]

747 is better because if airbus built the a380 on 1969 then it would crash a lot more often than the 747 so try to beat that airbus

[airlegoland]

Holy crap! I want to ride the plane so badly :D

[tn13]

I love the livery!

[punkyboy2]

the airplane is just so ellegant and beautiful;) looks 10x better than a380. No real ergonomics to it at all.

[K3nnyize]

SONG NAME??????



[DYLAV8R]

what is the name of the siren of a song in the background, id love to know, btw awesome job to whoever created it :)

[thephubet]

how ever i still like AIRBUS more than BOEING ESPECIALY A380

[punkyboy2]

beautiful 747-800, much more sleeker than the a380.

[ConcordeCentral]

the 747-8 may have a lot of features of the 787 but why doesnt it have the dimming windows?? that would be great! but i love the 747-8 anyway its the most beautiful 747 to date (closely followed by the -100 and sp)

[pimpmytafel]

whats with all the hate comments people? just enjoy the movie and the plane.

[LyndxD]

ugh personally i find beoing more comfortable flight,

[calasite]

Qantas, Emirates and Singapore Airlines have also suffered fuel system problems that have grounded one or more of their A380s in the last year. While it is not uncommon for new airplanes to have teething problems after entry into service, the frenetic pace of electronic system failures that have forced the grounding of the A380 poses questions about the quality and maturity of the airplanes that have thus far been delivered.

[calasite]

The loss-making Airbus A380 is still proving a miserable headache for Air France, an airline that has spent more money tending to the airplane on the ground than it has made using it in the air.

[MyCaptain101]

Ask the majority of pilots..... what they would rather fly and they would answer boeing...

If it aint a boeing, i aint going....

And how the joystick reduces pilot error.. honestly... WTF?????

[Pvjinflight]

@MyCaptain101 Airbus fly by wire reduces pilot errors.

[calasite]

Airbus had 3 CEO's resign during it's development that should send alarm bells ringing to anyone who 'understands' corporate. How does a joystick remove pilot work load any more than glide slope or TCAS does and has been doing already for years. The control column has been used for years and is favoured by pilots the world round, most pilots are fighting against the introduction of the A380 as well as its joy stick.

@Marmalade624 good point well put. Have those grounded A380's left the ground?

[indianaeagle219]

Airbus and everything about Airbus sucks

[calasite]

It is called the 747-8 and NOT the 747-800 as sen in the video, when are people going to stop likening it to the Airbus A380-800...? This plane is way better and has a history unlike the Airbus!

[whitireia]

Just because 747 has history that doesnt mean that it is technologically better than A380

A380 is actually technologically more advanced because it is a completely new design as opposed to the 747-8 which is a derivitive of the 747. 747-8 has design compromises dating back to the original 747 from 1969 such as the aerodynamics. The 747/747-8 cabin is far noisier becasue of the sub sonic airflows around the nose of the a/c. A380 doesn't have that problem and as such is much quieter in the air

[calasite]

True the A380 is technologically better but ask any pilot and they will tell you that they hate the "scarebus" as it has become known amongst those in the profession. A joystick over a control column is hardly revolutionary and to most pilots it is an insult. A control column gives the pilot proper feeling over his plane.

[whitireia]

@calasite I beg to differ.

The side stick provides more room in the cockpit in comparison to the flight yoke which takes up alot more room.

Most military fighters use fly by wire technology which include a side stick/joy stick aswell including the Raptor F22. I can tell you now that no fighter pilot would be complaining about their joysticks and fly by wire which actually reduces their workload increasing safety and reducing pilot error.

Pilot error is the #1 cause of aircraft crashes.

[calasite]

Well boeing have manufactured 125,000 aircrafts and Scare-Bus has produced 250!

The 744 is a workhorse and bullet proof. Not like all the ground Gay380!

Even AirFrance the majority shareholders of Scare-Bus have grounded their 2 A380's..

Oh what about the sudden nose dives on the A330's that crashed Airfrance from Rio and the sudden nose dive Qantas experienced!

Jumbo's flying since 1970's and not one technical fault has brought one down!

Punch line.. "If it aint a Boeing i ain't going" Period.

[whitireia]

Please...facts pulled from your asshole dont count.

Jumbos flying since 1970 andnot one technical fault are you serious. Lol

[calasite]

No facts from the truth actually seeing as though you clearly battle to understand and see the real plane from that piece of shit you call one.

Go join an airbus forum or so, then you can eat frogs legs and talk shit about the 747 behind its back, I know you will enjoy that, leave the comments to people who know a legend from a toy.

[whitireia]

FACT - A380 is aerodynamically more efficient than 747 including 747-8I.

FACT - The cockpit and cabin of A380 is much quieter than 747. 747 has design compromises due to technical inefficiencies when it was first design in the 1960s and as such causes sub sonic airflow around the nose of the 747 which in turn causes noise.

FACT - A380 is the quietest cabin in the skys.

FACT - A380 and 747 are great aircraft.

FACT - A380 is the most efficient VLA in service.

[Pvjinflight]

@calasite

"Jumbo's flying since 1970's and not one technical fault has brought one down!"

What about TWA 800, which crashed because of poor wires&bad materials used by boeing that led fuel to explode?

If that kind of idiot boeing for ever fans are on board im not going.

[calasite]

@Pvjinflight The plane was over 25 years old and it was up to the airline to ensure the integrity of the wiring, instead of replacing it they just taped it up. That's hardly a Boeing problem so take your head out of your arse and look at the facts before you comment next time ;-)

[Pvjinflight]

@calasite Faulty wiring was main reason yes, but fuel doesnt always ignite from spark if its not hot enough which makes it to fuel air mix. In Boeing 747 design there was heat-generating Air Conditioning directly under the fuel thank, it heated fuel over flaspoint. If Air conditioning would be in somewhere else, it couldn´t heat fuel enough to spark ignite it.

[calasite]

@Pvjinflight The airconditioning unit is indeed under the centre wing tank as yu have mentioned however there was no immediate threat to it as:

1: Kerosene is not highly flammable in liquid form

2: The wires to the tank were designed to carry a voltage far below what would be required to ignite the fuel.

The fact that the wiring was damaged is a mere co-incidence, an act of fate because of an airlines poor maintenance standards. All new Boeings carry nitrogen in their empty tanks.

[Marmalade624]

@whitireia well, the Airbus A380 is not a fighter jet is it. Maybe fighter jets need this technology an A380 doesn't its a passenger airliner:| Because fighter jets do allot of manual flying but in a commercial airliner you only need manual flight control at take-off/landing and if there's an emergency.

[whitireia]

Your argument is weak with no substance. Since when was a joystick inappropriate as a control mechanism?

FYI most Airbus aircraft utilise the control stick i.e. A318, A319, A320, A321, A330, A340, A380, Beluga. The only Airbus that uses the yoke is the A300 which is Airbuses oldest aircraft in their fleet.

Fly by wire is like having power windows in a car. It reduces pilot workload and automates some of the flight control functions.

[Marmalade624]

@whitireia the Beluga uses a yoke as well....

[whitireia]

An example of how fly-by-wire can help reduce workload is in an emergency situation such as approaching mountainous terrain. The pilot can simply pull back all the way on the control stick and the fly-by-wire computers will, retract speed brakes, advance the throttles and pitch the aircraft to its limits without the risk of the aircraft ever stalling.

In a non fly-by-wire Boeing a pilot would have to action of these tasks manually - more unnecessary workload in an emergency situation.

[whitireia]

@calasite.

I would also like to point out that more Boeing aircraft have crashed in the last 30 years in comparison to Airbus.

125 Boeing incidents vs 25 Airbus.

It is quite clear that fly by wire reduces pilot error the number one cause of air accidents today.

The manual Boeing yoke allow pilots to make more mistakes.

[AirCalv]

i would also like to point out that there are more boeing planes than airbus and boeing has been around for much longer and airbus. and so the boeing planes have been in use longer than airbus planes

[Jamz98]

@calasite i highly doubt its called a scare bus. and how if its a useless plane are they still swamped by orders that are coming too quickly for the factory to keep up. the A380 is an incredibly easy plane to fly, and in an age where the pilot is given less and less to do it doesent really matter if he has good feeling over the plane.

[whitireia]

Sorry dude I meant to give you the big thumbs up but my hand slipped and I clicked on thumbs down :-(

I totally and utterly agree with you.

Cheers

[Jamz98]

@whitireia lol, thanks

[Jamz98]

@calasite lol the wright brothers plane has a history, that doesent make it a better plane.

[planecrazy101ya]

song name artist?

[pedrosales217]

muito bom,tu pode me dizer o nome da musica, tu tem talento!

[torquemenistan]

VIP Only LOL

[cargolux7]

Boeing is besser als Airbus!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[SSJSIDJ]

Der A380 ist das Ende aller Eleganz

[sissiegiulio]

still make me feel happy like a baby......maybe the essence of flying

[storrer66]

What song is that ?

[apel256]

Asha - Free Yourself

[apel256]

Asha - Free Yourself

[atrumdecretum]

having a private 747-8 is my dream, I would have some sort of sex with every inch of that aircraft >: ) Boeing did it again, the A380 now doesn't make up for as ugly design, and good god I despise airbus flight decks

[sandeepricharddcunha]

hahaha, good for you !! Airbus flight decks arent that bad..... comfort wise they're better i'd say, but nothing feels as good as the Boeing i guess ........!

[clubpenguinbuzz]

Nice

[b101aa2]

the 747-8 has about the same range as the a-380, except is approximately 16% more efficient, so, operating costs are lower. In addition, the price tag is about $40 million less then the A380. Currently, the 747-400 is about $60 million less than an A380. FY 2008 Deliveries: Airbus A380 = 12. Boeing 747 = 16 Boeing 747-8 scheduling pushed back.

[sandeepricharddcunha]

Thanks for the info update ! much appreciated!

[DragracingX]

never heard Kaktus air before =/

[sandeepricharddcunha]

Its still on the drawing board ! There isnt much info available on the internet i presume!

[lidul]

so is it supposed to be kaktus air with k's or cactus air?

[sandeepricharddcunha]

Its with a K not a C ! It's different ! and i think the tail (empenage) is a picture of a desert !

[lidul]

so did you make this video or did u find it from a website? either way its awesome!

[sandeepricharddcunha]

umm... yeah i guess so... !

[bigpizza112]

btw!!! at 1:01 when we go inside the cabin we can't see any windows! however there is windows outside. wtf?

[bigpizza112]

there is actually no 747-800... there's only 747-8. and that's what it's called!

[sandeepricharddcunha]

thanks for the info, i always thought it meant 800 ! thanks again !

[TennisChamp59]

No... 747-8 stands for 747-800. You were right. It's like saying 747-4.

I think?

[sandeepricharddcunha]

I may be ryte but the boeing site clearly describes it as 747-8 there is no other reference as '800', but thanks for the reply anyways ! cant wait to see this bird in the air !

[TennisChamp59]

Yeah, you are right. I guess it is 747-8.

[Enoppixz]

I wish Kaktus Air was real...

[sandeepricharddcunha]

So do I ! i think it might actually be !

[faz4321]

Where did you get this plane from???

[sandeepricharddcunha]

Got it from you tube, thanks to Henry Lam. I hear he is its creator !

[faz4321]

SORRY WASN'T SUPPOSED TO POST THAT I WAS TESTING AUDIO PREVIEW VERY SORRY :(. anyways what i really wanted to say was.

i know the author is henry lam but what exact website did you download or what did you type in google

[sandeepricharddcunha]

found it on you tube !!

[sandeepricharddcunha]

Thanks to Henry Lam

[kekecom]

the 787 and 747-800 inter. will have joystick or sterring wheel ? or the joystick is only for airbus... i hope so because i love with sterring wheel!

[sandeepricharddcunha]

Neither !! its called a control column or yoke !!

[kekecom]

but will have steering wheel or joystick?!

[sandeepricharddcunha]

A Yoke is similar to a steering wheel !! so steering wheel !! if you put it that way !!

[flyer176]

I don't think Boeing will ever ditch the yoke on a commercial airliner.

[sandeepricharddcunha]

Thank you ! the music is called 'free yourself' im sorry i dont know the artist !

[Zazoooo777]

beautifll Video .. Thanks fellow ..

the name of the song please ?

see you soon ..

[cristianym2022]

Can you tell me who is singing this beautifull song or what´s the name of this song ?

Thank´s for your attention.

[pedrosales217]

what this song?

[sandeepricharddcunha]

Free yourself ! got it from a readers digest CD called Serene Music !

[speedfreak111]

its awesome music, could you upload the song on youtube?

[gordin23]

is that really going to be like that?

it's amazing

[celtno1]

niceeee. you've just got to love the 747's, unique, beutifull, a bit special. unlike the ugly A-380. 380's got a front like a deformed forehead on a whale.

[edsels58]

To me, the front of the A380 looks like a moral eel. It's simply ugly! Long live the 747, and especially the new 747-800IC!

[gopussycat]

fabulous video! and of course,747-800,a beauty!

thanks to share!

[BIBIBANZAI]

Great video and good job this plane is fabulous "747 always in my heart..."

[sandeepricharddcunha]

Thank you ! if you have a few videos i'd be happy to make movies out of 'em ! love doing this stuff !
