[ While A380 is a new kid on the block, so no doubt its center of attention these days!] 747, on the other hand, looks like a rather mature guy; but its been tested/proven through the last 4 decades, flown by every major airlines throughout the world; it has kept the best safety record in air travel history; been through mid-air bomb explosions, and even flew up side down!
The 747 was such an amazing sight for people when it first came out - the world's largest passenger aircraft. It put millions of smiles on people's faces. Now the fabulous aircraft is being replaced by the so called 'Made in France' (more like 'Made in China') stupid A380.. c'mon 747-8 keep the memories flowing!
@MrAviator12 First of all you have to know things like this happen in life. And second of all yes, I love the 747 but although the A380 beated it, were still lucky we have the 747-8. And plus, in the future there will be bigger planes than the A380 so you can stop complaining about it. And also in the future the Boeing 747 will eventually
retire. Luckily there will still be alot of 747s before they sadly get scrapped and retire.
@nickelfilling1 Well if you think about it - you can't really compare the 747 much to the A380 - considering Airbus make claims such as "The A380 has _% more cabin space than the 747" - well that's just stating the obvious. It would have more cabin space since it has 2 decks, I just believe the two should not be compared and both should serve on their own.
@MrAviator12 Thanks for the help. After you said this I agree with you, the 747 and the A380 should not be compared, they should both serve on their own. LottoWinner999 should learn from this. He's always comparing them and whoever likes Airbus he just replies to them in a bad way and swears at them. He should be ashamed of himself. I was just telling you what would happen next to the 747s. The 747s are a amazing sight and they will always be in my heart.
@nickelfilling1 I agree about the Lotto Guy - to be honest, I want both the 747-8I and A380 to be a success - the legendary 747 should be compared seperately as a One and a Half deck aircraft and A380 as a double deck aircraft - in now way should they be compared. And besides it looks like Boeing and Airbus seem to be settling their differences with American Airlines splitting the new narrow body orders between Boeing and Airbus.
@MrAviator12 Nickelffiling is so full of shit its incredible cuz Airbus has no A380 sales this year while the Boeing 747-8I has 117 firm sales in five months since its been released. In 9 years AB has only sold 200 A380's + delivered only 51. A380 is a White Elephant + 6 Billion Euros in debt + has to sell 500 to break even. The A350 is delayed until 2017 + has no engine + Boeing exclusivity contract with GE. Airbus is pissed cuz GE turned them down cuz they to by GE Nexgen for A350.

I hate people who say "747 is the best F*** THE A380" i don't know where your problem is? boeing and airbus are BOTH great companys and they have BOTH great planes. so why don't you accept BOTH companys ?????
@13BigLu13 Sorry but I hate Airbus because their computers result in so many crashes with A-320'S and now problems with A380. Its an inexperinced aircrafter builder that cut corners and copies Beoings bests design and technolgy. Airbus crashes are to common and their pilot training is gauche to say to the least like Arabs take of crash landing in the desert cuz lack of fuel. Their planes R cheap so say a prayer when U fly on Airbus or in an Airbus.
@LottoWinner999 nasa and the aviation in the states was developped by the germans whos was stealed from germany after the world war2 ,it was 162 scientises ,they got the american citizenship after one year and they developped the aviation,weapon,rocket programe,and what u call it nowNASA :)so read some books befor u open ur wide mouth and say airbus copy boeing
@13BigLu13 Because Aibus AKA Airfags are a piece of shit with two wings attached. In addtion the WTO AKA World Trade Organization has ruled Airbis is completely subsidized in an unfair manner in addtion to Airfags engineers copy and steal innovative designs from Boeing Reasearch and Development. Also the Airfags are such cheap copys of quality Boeing aircraft. Airbus aka Airfags leads the airlines industry in fatal crashes and hull breaches since 1982.
@boonatwork: I' m also from there but FMO is able to handle nearly empty 747s. There was a Corsair 747-300 which brought some Football players Dome years ago.
If only more Airlines around the world took up the new 748's. The 747 is now a dying breed and being retired and scrapped at an incredible rate. The Airline i work for has announced the progressive retirement of 20 744's over the next 2 years to make way for the Plastic A380. The 747 will always have a place in my heart and that of many people across the globe.
@Mickholas well its aircraft like the 787 that are slowly replacing older aircraft with more developed technology... we wont see the end of the 747 as of yet... i was at the 747-8I ceremony as im a lead Technical developer of the GE Engine installion project.. so really i was third in charge of the Engines...
@Mickholas I think once lufthansa and other airlines that ordered them recieve them. I think other airlines will see the benifits of the 747-8. Its just a better looking, more aerodynamic airplane. The a380 has no erganomic concept at all pretty much.
@Mickholas I work for United and Continental airlines and was working for Boeing but I decided to work for United but the Boeing 747-8 is one of the best I mean is the best plane Boeing have 5 planes that is good on fuel and dont need refueling it is the 747-400 747-8 777 757 737 so it is one of the best planes on earth but the Airbus is a worthless that is y they only have 4 mean users its becuz Airbus is to big and use to much space for one airport
@Mickholas I work for United and Continental airlines and was working for Boeing but I decided to work for United but the Boeing 747-8 is one of the best I mean is the best plane Boeing have 5 planes that is good on fuel and dont need refueling it is the 747-400 747-8 777 757 737 so it is one of the best planes on earth but the Airbus is a worthless that is y they only have 4 mean users its becuz Airbus is to big and use to much space for one airport it is hard for any airport to hold and fact
@Mickholas I think the reason why the airlines are planning to get rid of their 747s is because the A380 has more capacity than the 747. And when you have more capacity than that means you make more money. And that's what every airline wants to do. They want more money. And since they know that they will make more money with the A380s than the 747s than that's probably why they want to scrap their 747s. The 747 have even become less popular. Suprisingly there has only been 1 order for a 747.....
@Mickholas plane last year. Counting in 2011 there has only been 2 orders for some 747s this year. Eventually the 747s will get scrapped and retire. The Boeing 747-100 planes and Boeing 747-200 have already been retired. The Boeing 747-300 and the Boeing 747-400 are out of production but some are still in service. They will eventually get scrapped and retire. I'm guessing you work for Quantas Airlines since I saw in you're channel you live in Australia. I have seen a numorous Airbus A380........
@nickelfilling1 Your an Airbus Troll thats so full of shit its incredible cuz Airbus has A380 sales while the Boeing 747-8I has 117 firm sales in five months since its been released. In 9 years has only sold 200 A380's + delivered only 51. Your A380 is a White Elephant + 6 Billion Euros in debt + has to sell 500 to break even. The A350 is delayed until 2017 + has no engine + Boeing exclusivity contract with GE. Airbus is pissed cuz GE turned them down cuz they to by GE Nexgen for A350.
@LottoWinner999 First of all, you don't even know if I'm a troll because I'm not!!!!!!!!!! And plus I don't really know which side you're on, Boeing or Airbus. I'm on Boeing because they make safe planes. And just because there hasn't been any accident with any Airbus plane doesn't mean they're safe. It just takes time for a fault to happen on an Airbus plane. And any airline who would want safe planes would trust Boeing. And I never said I liked Airbus. I said that I loved the Boeing 747-8...
@nickelfilling1 Air Airbus A380 is piece of shit with 2 wings made in France + only sold 200 +51 delivered while Boeing 747-8I has sold 117 747-8Is in 5 months + stalks A380 sales. La A380 is 6 Billion Euros in debt + 21/2 years behind delivery + must sell 500 to break even. Every 747-8I sale is nail in the A380 coffin which has had no sales this year. At this rate the A380 will be cancelled + the A350-Delay-Liner does not no have an engine + GE said no Nexgen engines for Airbus. Airbus Sucks
@LottoWinner999 (Continued from first comment.)Which also means that I love Boeing. And their safe planes. So that does mean that you didn't had to say all that mean stuff to me. It's just a disgrace in somebody's face. Now for the conclusion, you must have missed everything. You clearly missed my point. I was just telling Mickholas why the airlines wanted more A380s. Okay you're right, maybe I did tell him like it was a bit over for Boeing but take a look at their sales. They have sold 3,000..
@LottoWinner999 and counting 737s. They can't shut down!! Listen to me!! I feel like you're one of those people who like to start arguments with other people and say lies about them!! Well just stop!! Maybe I don't talk clearly and you don't get it but that doesn't give you the right to say negative things to me!! And to say the conclusion.......... I don't like Airbus. I've always wanted a 737(And a Boeing 747.). I'm sorry if I was a little hard on you but can't we both make peace!!
@Mickholas planes with Quantas written on them. But for now..........the Boeing 747 will have a place in my heart and I hope to own 1 Boeing 747 plane out of all the remaining Boeing 747s.
@nickelfilling1 Its doom time for Airbus A380. Boeing has 117 Firm Sales for the 747-8I + the Boeing 787 will delivered this August. Did U hear Boeing is going to build 16 787's per month while the A350-Delay-Liner has no engine. Gee its seem there are GE Nexgen engines in the cuboard for Airbus + Airbus stock dropped again cuz the A380-Delay-Liner has made no sales this year. Tsk, tsk Boeing will celebrate when Airbus cancels its White Elephant A380-Delay-Liner. Airbus A380 is POS with 2 wings.
@Mickholas if the A380 was such a bad plane, tell me why at bourget so many airline company bought a lot and a lot of this plane ????? It's know there a competition between boeing and airbus but you can say trully which one is the best at this time. Boeing were the boss, once up on a time, now it's the turn of airbus... US boy, be fairplay and behave like a gentleman. Perhaps boeing will be back .... About military aircraft, Europe is so far away at the back, keep it smiling ;-)
@Mickholas Don't give up so soon. Air China and Lufthansa want the 748 already. Who will be next? The super-rich may prefer the A380, but the "proletariat" who must fly coach will find the 748 a vast improvement over the older 747s and the A380's lower deck both.
Sweet 7/10 for "First Presentation"..I had acouple of looks at ur other videos also. As for me, I'm no showman but for (Airborne and Taxi) A big thumbs Up, from the Viewer Aspect! Also appreciate your (hours) in bringing these to Others' Cheers Mate
God, enough of the nitpicking criticisms!!! Your video was very entertaining to an experienced planewatcher. I am becoming more hooked on the simulations, and while obviously not 100% accurate, King of the Hill and The Simpsons entertained many of us as well.
@maxwellus000123 uhhh im srry but r u blind??? the wings are bent up AND the engines are probably so loud bcuz the guy thot the plane was going too slowly
Why is it that the Boeong 787 and boeing 747-8 have those spikes on the engine like at 0:16 ? Ai hav never siin them on any other aircraft besides the new ones :/
@Inexorable9295 wtf are you talking about, everyone can see that it's a real 747-8 and not such a shit as you are talking about... go home you little motherf*****
Inexorable9295, you're completely wrong. The aircraft depicted here is exactly what the 747-8 passenger version looks like. Google the 747 and look at the side profiles of the 747-400 and the 747-8. You'll see that this depiction is correct.
@Inexorable9295 if you knew what you were talking about. Clearly its a 747-8. the biggest difference is the wing in general. It is the same technology as with the dreamliner. also, the winglets. not even close. your the noob
Nice landing, and @ cleo0399 nope, in this plane, due to its large vertical stabilizer (more ground control), you can start reverse thrust as soon as the main gear touches down, no matter if the nose gear is still in the air ;) It's in the plane's manual and I think it's the same irl
@cleo0399 If you really know something about airplanes, you might know that in largre airplanes, due to the large tail stabilizer, the reverse thrust can be activated as soon as the main gear touch the runway, even if the nose gear is in the air. See real landings and you will see that this landing is perfect.
true but how many airline can actually fill up 90% of the seas to make a profit likeemirates there just messing around the want to be the world leader but yet there losing money like crazy qatar is better to me
dude i'm not talking about fiscal responsibility, or fuel efficiency here, i'm just replying to what Runescape said about 747-800 being larger in capacity. I simply corrected him when both planes are maxed out in passenger capacity config, the A380 carries more. I know that its up to the airlines on what config they choose in the end.
oh yeah true the a380 has more seats but all im saying is that the airline who ordered the a380 how many of them can actually fill the seats atleast 90% of there seats to make a profit i think they should evaluate and either chose the a350-1000 or the 747-8 oh and at least lufthasa is using it on there prize route fra-jfk thats the only route i see them making a profit on and maybe there fra to lax not sure about that
@RunescapeTutorial585 Better read by you own, and compare. Both are great airplanes, but the A-380 can transport 800 plus people (between 800 and 850 depending of the configuration). The 748 is only a longer version (only 7.9 meters more) of the 744, and can transport 465 passengers in a tri-class configuration... Boeing might design a completely new airplane to get the capacity of the A-380, but 748 is a great adaptation.
@mystylix I know I'll never see an A380 with 800 or 850 passengers on borad, I was speaking in terms of max capacity. And you knew it. But you would make your speech, and you forced it in a stupid way, yo show the world how much clever you are, and you only are a poor know-all.

@Mickholas I think the reason why the airlines are planning to get rid of their 747s is because the A380 has more capacity than the 747. And when you have more capacity than that means you make more money. And that's what every airline wants to do. They want more money. And since they know that they will make more money with the A380s than the 747s than that's probably why they want to scrap their 747s. The 747 have even become less popular. Suprisingly there has only been 1 order for a 747.....

@Mickholas plane last year. Counting in 2011 there has only been 2 orders for some 747s this year. Eventually the 747s will get scrapped and retire. The Boeing 747-100 planes and Boeing 747-200 have already been retired. The Boeing 747-300 and the Boeing 747-400 are out of production but some are still in service. They will eventually get scrapped and retire. I'm guessing you work for Quantas Airlines since I saw in you're channel you live in Australia. I have seen a numorous Airbus A380........

@nickelfilling1 Your an Airbus Troll thats so full of shit its incredible cuz Airbus has A380 sales while the Boeing 747-8I has 117 firm sales in five months since its been released. In 9 years has only sold 200 A380's + delivered only 51. Your A380 is a White Elephant + 6 Billion Euros in debt + has to sell 500 to break even. The A350 is delayed until 2017 + has no engine + Boeing exclusivity contract with GE. Airbus is pissed cuz GE turned them down cuz they to by GE Nexgen for A350.

@LottoWinner999 First of all, you don't even know if I'm a troll because I'm not!!!!!!!!!! And plus I don't really know which side you're on, Boeing or Airbus. I'm on Boeing because they make safe planes. And just because there hasn't been any accident with any Airbus plane doesn't mean they're safe. It just takes time for a fault to happen on an Airbus plane. And any airline who would want safe planes would trust Boeing. And I never said I liked Airbus. I said that I loved the Boeing 747-8...
nickelfilling1 6 months ago
@nickelfilling1 Air Airbus A380 is piece of shit with 2 wings made in France + only sold 200 +51 delivered while Boeing 747-8I has sold 117 747-8Is in 5 months + stalks A380 sales. La A380 is 6 Billion Euros in debt + 21/2 years behind delivery + must sell 500 to break even. Every 747-8I sale is nail in the A380 coffin which has had no sales this year. At this rate the A380 will be cancelled + the A350-Delay-Liner does not no have an engine + GE said no Nexgen engines for Airbus. Airbus Sucks

@LottoWinner999 (Continued from first comment.)Which also means that I love Boeing. And their safe planes. So that does mean that you didn't had to say all that mean stuff to me. It's just a disgrace in somebody's face. Now for the conclusion, you must have missed everything. You clearly missed my point. I was just telling Mickholas why the airlines wanted more A380s. Okay you're right, maybe I did tell him like it was a bit over for Boeing but take a look at their sales. They have sold 3,000..

@nickelfilling1 Its doom time for Airbus A380. Boeing has 117 Firm Sales for the 747-8I + the Boeing 787 will delivered this August. Did U hear Boeing is going to build 16 787's per month while the A350-Delay-Liner has no engine. Gee its seem there are GE Nexgen engines in the cuboard for Airbus + Airbus stock dropped again cuz the A380-Delay-Liner has made no sales this year. Tsk, tsk Boeing will celebrate when Airbus cancels its White Elephant A380-Delay-Liner. Airbus A380 is POS with 2 wings.
LottoWinner999 6 months ago
@Mickholas if the A380 was such a bad plane, tell me why at bourget so many airline company bought a lot and a lot of this plane ????? It's know there a competition between boeing and airbus but you can say trully which one is the best at this time. Boeing were the boss, once up on a time, now it's the turn of airbus... US boy, be fairplay and behave like a gentleman. Perhaps boeing will be back .... About military aircraft, Europe is so far away at the back, keep it smiling ;-)

@Mickholas Don't give up so soon. Air China and Lufthansa want the 748 already. Who will be next? The super-rich may prefer the A380, but the "proletariat" who must fly coach will find the 748 a vast improvement over the older 747s and the A380's lower deck both.

A) It is a 747-8, The wing design is different, engines are differnt (true) and upper deck is longer. and

Nice landing, and @ cleo0399 nope, in this plane, due to its large vertical stabilizer (more ground control), you can start reverse thrust as soon as the main gear touches down, no matter if the nose gear is still in the air ;) It's in the plane's manual and I think it's the same irl

@cleo0399 If you really know something about airplanes, you might know that in largre airplanes, due to the large tail stabilizer, the reverse thrust can be activated as soon as the main gear touch the runway, even if the nose gear is in the air. See real landings and you will see that this landing is perfect.

dude i'm not talking about fiscal responsibility, or fuel efficiency here, i'm just replying to what Runescape said about 747-800 being larger in capacity. I simply corrected him when both planes are maxed out in passenger capacity config, the A380 carries more. I know that its up to the airlines on what config they choose in the end.
rehma6b0 1 year ago
@rehma6b0
oh yeah true the a380 has more seats but all im saying is that the airline who ordered the a380 how many of them can actually fill the seats atleast 90% of there seats to make a profit i think they should evaluate and either chose the a350-1000 or the 747-8 oh and at least lufthasa is using it on there prize route fra-jfk thats the only route i see them making a profit on and maybe there fra to lax not sure about that
bigkevinpetrona 1 year ago
@RunescapeTutorial585 Better read by you own, and compare. Both are great airplanes, but the A-380 can transport 800 plus people (between 800 and 850 depending of the configuration). The 748 is only a longer version (only 7.9 meters more) of the 744, and can transport 465 passengers in a tri-class configuration... Boeing might design a completely new airplane to get the capacity of the A-380, but 748 is a great adaptation.
Gerardius 1 year ago
@Gerardius you are talking so much crap, sorry to say it that way.
But you'll never see an airline a380 whit 800 or 850 persons inside.
that would be too uncomfortable.
for example lufthansa uses a configuration of 526!
747-8 is supposed to have around 400, depending on the configuration!
a340-600: 335-370 passengers.
Now you might see that the 747-8 is needed to:
1. replace the old 747-400 (not immediately but in the following years)
2. close the gap between a380 and 340-600
