AFS-design brings a excellent rendition of Boeing 747-8  

The introduction of the Airbus competitor with its new double storey large aircraft (above 400 seats) Airbus A380, Boeing came under pressure in 2004 and reached a more advanced concept 747-400 back and was as a competitor to the Airbus A380 747 Advanced advertised. On 14 November 2005, officially launched the project under the name of 747-8.

The 747-8 is further increased compared to the 747-400. It will close the capacity gap between Boeing 777 and Airbus A340 and the Airbus A380.
The increase in capacity is achieved by the extension of the trunk, which the Boeing 747-8 with 76.30 meters is the longest passenger aircraft in the world and thus replaces the Airbus A340-600 (75.36 meters).

It will be built (InterContinental = I) is a cargo variant called 747-8F (F = Freighter) variant and a passenger named 747-8I. Both versions have revised aerodynamic wing with modern wingtips, flaps and improved gapless Krueger flaps. In addition, the fuselage and wings in the new lighter and more corrosion-resistant aluminum alloys are installed. In addition, the cockpit has been developed, whose design is based on the cockpit of the 787th 

The most important technological innovation, the 787 adopted by the Boeing jet engines from General Electric GEnx dar. These have a double-digit percentage lower fuel consumption compared to the 747-400 and the noise emission is reduced by 30%.
