@MyPilot747 sometimes it's becos of the passenger density of the flights? While it would be reasonable to argue that longer flights should be handled by the A380, let's not forget the A380 can carry more passengers than the 747 so using it for high density flights might be the reason for flying shorter routes
the wingtips help make the wing more efficient by stopping air flow from flipping over to the bottom of the wing and cancelling out the lift it just made..
on average it saves between 4-6% of fuel as well..
I did this flight a couple of times from Frankfurt Main. But i do prefer to take the A340 because the A340 is actually smoother & it doesn't make that much noise. I hope the follow up for the B747 will be better... I just feel more comfortable in an Airbus & more stressed in a Boeing.
@Faithski999 Such a shame because I'd rather go on the 747 than the A380! Do you know if SIA still have any more 747s, and what's their route? Thanks!
oo they landed on my bday

Why some times there is a trail of fog generated just behind spoilers and under the flaps, specially when full deployed?

@hallointhere, @MyPilot747 747 safer for longer flights? A380 not so safe....

yeah I agree totally. Boeing's planes are far more unstable than Airbuses. I mean an A320 feels better than a B777!!!!!

can someone tell me what wigtips are for at the end of the wing
ahocknul04 2 years ago
It reduces drag, by smoothing the air flow across the upper wing near the tip. It also helps to increase fuel efficiency.

They are actually called winglets or wing fences. Wing tips are the tips of the wing, lol.

No they're not. Wingtips are what you eat, as in chicken wingtips. LOL :)

@QFB747 if youre reffering to the video im afraid youre wrong, i flew one of these last week and it was most certainly a 747.
