Boeing 747-8 undergoes extreme testing

[TheCreamycreamy]

ugly

[cmtmj2006]

The A380 is just one ugly bird while the 747-8 is so elegant and graceful.

[riDDDiculous]

Oh WOW that beast just did a touch-n-go at 1:35 !!!!!!

Amazing :)

[GlobalShiftWilton]

Don't get me wrong, I like the A380, I think it's a feat of engineering. But there is something about the 747, so sleek & slender in its design. So neat...

It just looks awesome!

[qbb01]

Nigga cheese

[iDiZZY15]

Do they have parachutes just in case?

[jotunis]

Pure perfection!!

[HDDRIVE2GO]

4 viewer are airbus-fans

[modelcitizen72]

How the hell can the test pilot walk with balls that big?

[cmtmj2006]

@modelcitizen72 How? Because he is a fucking American. USA

[frizstyler]

do inverted if you got the ballz

[Ryanair112]

Amazing...

[jbrian80]

A380 = Modern

747 = CLASSIC

[KidKlassic91]

the engine and wings are pretty , the fuselage looks strangely elongated

[SouthernFriedWays]

gives a new meaning to draging ass.

[DZEyoyo123]

I don't know why they are doing different flight tests on that plane, the plane has the same aerodynamic characteristics as any other 747. 

[rahmanroni]

@DZEyoyo123 They changed the wings, changed the length of the fuselage, new control system, new engines. Essentially its a new place that looks and is in essence built like its older brother.

[rahmanroni]

@DZEyoyo123 *plane 

[SNZISM]

Boeing Forever

[arixtos]

This is a real beauty, the 747 beautiful lines rule!

[jherz10102]

That touch & go landing was sweet...serious thrust. Over a quarter million pounds!

[runsame]

Can't wait to fly with the new Lufthansa 747-8 :-)

[colunga78299]

nice.......

[DiamondPilotDan]

ground effect* not effects.. and SWEET! ive never seen a 747 stall lol

[BananaT3arz]

1 person works for airbus

[jodstasic]

I love how they kept the 747-400 theme in the cockpit. Boeing FTW

[airbornbtw]

stall is caused by the lack of ability to keep airflow over the upper surface of the wing that creates lift. stalls can happen in multiple environments. the stall you see here is the result of reducing power and pulling the nose of the airplane up to maintain altitude. as the relative airflow over the top of the wing begins to separate, the wing can no longer hold the airplane in the air. the result is that the airplane pitches down and recaptures the speed of relative wind over the airfoil

B) "What do you do?"

A) "Product testing. Nothing special."

B) "Oké, where? For what company?"

A) "BOEING! Fuck yeah!"

B) O_o

[shades9721]

I'm confused. I thought you stalled a plane by heading *up* too much, but the video clearly shows them stalling by heading down. Can someone help me out?

[XteriazZ]

@shades9721 When you stall you fall down from the sky with the airplane. When you pull the nose down it gets speed so you can go out of the stall :) I think it was that we saw :)

[ikolkyo967]

@shades9721 You cans tall many ways slowing down too much bank angels high pitch.

[2013branth]

As great as the A380 is, it will never be as beautiful as the 747 line (which I believe is the milestone in aviation).

[Preluding99]

This really is an amazing aircraft!

[Abujamra2]

I'd like to know how they film this. Fighter jet?

[barthoedemaker]

boeing did a great job upgrading the 747, i'd rather take this bird that has been tested for 30 years + than a380.

[aspiringdrummer17]

@spirolura Even the Soviets used to show off their new aircraft at the Paris Air Show. That's the way it's always been. Boeing's new stuff is always showed off at Oshkosh. Granted it's not as big as Paris but it's better than nothing. Not to mention Paris is the place all the airlines go to look at new airlines and the militaries of different countries go to look at new military types. Paris is more of a trade show than an airshow

[DEVASTATOR478]

WONDERFULL , BUT I PREFER GALAXY C-5

[whitehawk38]

i don't care about which plane manufactorer i fly with. i care about the airline

[Beechcraft746]

Why skip to 800? why no 500, 600,or 700?

[jimdep333]

@Beechcraft746 Does anyone care about the answer?

[Beechcraft746]

@jimdep333 good point lol

[Gdsamplify]

Thumbs up if you're watching in 2011!

[ezbinden]

looks nice

[ikolkyo967]

A380 SUCKS 747 ROCK ON

[Pvjinflight]

@ikolkyo967 You suck

[ikolkyo967]

@Pvjinflight you just know boeing is better grow up

[Pvjinflight]

@ikolkyo967 I know that Airbus is better. Also I know that its fun to argue with american Boeing fans as I have nothing better to do.

[ikolkyo967]

@Pvjinflight If your an Airbus fa then why are you watching this video idiot

[Pvjinflight]

@ikolkyo967 Coz I like arguing with Boeing fans?

[xTomcatsForeverVF84x]

@Pvjinflight You like to start arguements on youtube?? Get a fucking life sad twat. XD

[Pvjinflight]

@xTomcatsForeverVF84x Yeah with stupid Boeing fans, I personally respect both manufacturers.

And hey, if you lived in middle of nothing in boring country you would probably do it too if you had nothing better to do :((((

[SuradjJ1]

I'd be damn scared testing airplanes.

Lovely bird this. Can't wait to fly in it

[jainish007]

queen of the sky...B747-800 FTW!!!

[zeki99zeki99]

@jainish007

yes, queen of the sky, but the king is the airbus a-380 :)

[jainish007]

@zeki99zeki99 and the kings are always ugly and fat!!! Just saying no hate toward A380...

[jimdep333]

@zeki99zeki99 wholeheartedly disagree. Bigger DOES NOT mean better.

[k4n3n1]

@zeki99zeki99 no boeing 747-8 is not queen she's the god of the sky.

[K0nst4nt1n96]

@jainish007 B747-8F/I

[jainish007]

@K0nst4nt1n96 same difference...hahaha i know, but it's all in the same family

[Erikkx1]

@jainish007 It's not 747-800 but 747-8.

[jainish007]

@Erikkx1 it was 800 when i posted the comment...10 months ago

[matsnowb]

Great bird!....747 the best plane ever fly

[TheMickyGMan1]

@matsnowb a380 ? il-96 , superjet 100
