- The Boeing 747, The Queen of the skies, is a historic and beloved aircraft which changed commercial aviation and ushered in the dawn of the jumbo jets.
But just like all the quad engine jets, the 747 has seen its popularity wane in passenger travel within the last decade or so as airlines have favoured more dynamic fuel-efficient twin-engine aircraft.
However, something unexpected just happened with the 747 at London Heathrow.
This has raised some unique questions and one of them being asked is, “What’s happening with the Boeing 747?”
Let’s find out.
The 747 is a beautiful aeroplane
Boeing 747 aircraft deserves her reputation as Queen of the Skies. Here capabilities need to be fully utilized.
The best looking aircraft and it changed everybody's lives, forever.
She will ALWAYS be the Queen !
Why not just build the 747x made fully of composites, fuel efficient engines
I will choose the airline that flies 747 over the other ones.
I once flew a Northwest -400 to Tokyo and was in business class. Northwest's business class was on the lower deck and I got the first row.
As we began taxiing I thought the pilot had driven off the tarmac because as the plane made a turn to get to the runway, the nose swung way out over the grass!
I then realized that I was in front of the nose gear!
Talk about a surprise!
Being in that seat, I also almost had a forward-looking view!
Singapore Airlines is still my favorite airline on that plane! They treat you right!
Nearly got to fly the B747-400. However I was forced to B777 just before starting the type rating course. However, the design is very old (the design was originally a Airforce tender back in the 1960’s, won by Lockheed Galaxy). The 400 was an modernised EFIS model which my company had about 54. Covid pandemic finished them off early but planned retirement was 2024. The replacement aircraft A350-1000, which has the same passenger capacity with fuel burn of 6 tons per hour. Much cheaper to operate and maintain, plus airlines are measured on average fleet age. I am now P1 on the A350. Wonderful airliner to fly.
I hope so ... bring back the Queen now !!
They are planning on upgrading the B-52 with new, very efficient engines while maintaining the 8 engine configuration to utilize the same plumbing and mounting points so as to keep costs lower. This would most likely work for the 747 as well.
Finger cross we will see soon , I do love the aircraft
My last 747 flight was from LHR to Seattle in the main deck Club World section in 2019. Loved every moment of the flight.
I flew from Hawaii to Tokyo on Pan Am 747 in the 70's. I was 12 yrs old and the movies sucked in our section. 1st class wasn't full so the sewartess let me sit up there. I got to ditch my Mother and sister for the flight. Killer Elete was playing in 1st class. I got to enjoy 1st class treatment for that very long flight. I still remember it today. What an awsome opportunity and experience for a poor kid. I love those planes !
I hope the Boeing 747 still keeps on being produced at everat Washington factory in America
My first international flight as a kid, barely 4 years old was on the flying Maharaja service out of JFK on an Air India Boeing 747. I flew it to Mumbai with my parents. I always liked to fly the Queen of The Skies. I miss flying on the Queen of the Skies. Will see if Boeing is able to pull off a revamp of the Boeing 747.
I saw a Korean 747 on flight radar a few weeks ago
Boeing can't engineer new planes ... so bringing back their well-engineered planes of 1970s is their only option
This is the best way out for this Boeing's situation ,to create the new product from the old product ! I am just cherrish to all of the first 747 designers 😊
I am afraid to say it's all about costs. I could Immagine a startup airline using them as there must be many around with many hours left in them going cheap.
It was pulled out far too soon, airlines jumped on a cult to get rid of them far too soon.
Is Boeing going to replace 4 engines with just two?
747 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
747 coming back?
Great video ❤
Nice
How is a 2 engine plane more ‘dynamic’ then a four engine plane? More ‘efficient’ perhaps- that’s it
🙏
Now question is will this new one nose dive itself into the bloody ground or just fall to pieces in the sky.
That A380 is just a big heavy ugly fuel thirsty expensive uneconomical expensive
piece of rubbish
it will be fantastic if she could be brought back into service
and most certainly welcomed
A different experience much appreciated…air travel market and passenger comfort
👊🔥
