Thank you for sharing this unique moment with us. Those engines fit the 747-8i at 2,000% perfectly! I remember that the Boeing engineers claimed the 747-8i would not be so quiet like the A380-800, but what I see is that their product reached the same levels of quietness in the cabin as the A380. Sometimes the 747-8i sounds even quieter!
I am amazed at how quiet the engines have become. So long the "buzzsaw" sound on takeoff. I didn't even know the engines were on. There is wind noise until at the 3:00 mark when the leading edge flaps retract, then it becomes quieter. Beautiful colors on the nacelles at 3:50, too! By the way, Happy 43rd Birthday, 747! (which was yesterday, Feb. 9).
What a beautifully smooth wing. I remember flying on old 737-100 as a kid and it's wing looking like a rivet porcupine by comparison. Thank you for not tracking on some rock power ballad on the video.
Almost thought something was wrong with my sound ?? and those engines are pushing some serious thrust especially on T/O that is one amazing bird! I love the 747-8i the pilots that fly them must have a tremendous sense of pride . . . . the most graceful bird in the sky lol and probably the quietest too :)
The 747-8. They took the most beautiful plane in the sky (747-400) and added a 787 wing design, enormous and quiet GEnx engines, 777 cockpit architecture and made this beautiful work of art. I love flying it. It's a pilot's airplane.
Thanks, this is the first i have heard them in flight, I only have heard them leaving and landing at the factory. Love it. Z-- was Kruegers and Ailerons.
I flew from Frankfurt to Dulles about 2 months after Lufthansa took delivery of one of the 747-8i and it was one of the most enjoyable trips I’ve ever taken. I got a free upgrade to First Class. I didn’t want to get off the plane. She was sooo quiet. Major difference in noise level between the -400 and -8 series. I’ve flown A380s as well and they are nice but the 747-8i is and always will be the queen of the skies.
Me too. I also love the engine sound especially the CFM and IAE used in Airbus A319, A320 and A321. Airbus A340-300 is also powered with CFM. These are my favorite aircraft. I also like the engine sound of RR Trent 900 and EA GP7000 used to power Airbus A380. I also like the sound of RR Trent 700 used in A330 but not as much as the CFM and IAE.
I remember the wing of the older 747 models (e.g. 747-100, -200, and -400). It flexed quite a bit more than this - you could often see the engines bobbling up and down relative to each other. Maybe it’s a matter of the conditions on takeoff, but I suspect that the newer wing is stiffer. It utilizes some composite materials (which I believe tend to yield stiffer structures), and the wing of the 747-8 is indeed thicker than that of the earlier models.
great video yesthat..I know 1 thing is certain..IM never flying across the pond again on a twin engine beast..when 1 engine starts having issues, it gets rather frantic
I am not fully doubting you if this is a 747-8i, or if this is an Airbus 340 (ive been in both). but i am having doubts...no 747 can ever be this quite..heck it doesnt even have that "thrust" feel during take offs like I've felt so many times on the 300, 400 series of the 747. if it is truly a 747, then I am speechless and need to get a flight in this plane!
Three engines are genx , but engine number 3 is made by a company called shlaxatax , and it has infinit power and thrust , but the captains usually dont use it more than they need , just around 65 000 pound feet is enough .
You're right, but I'm amazed how some airlines get as much out of their 744's as possible like Lufthansa, BA, and Delta when they could have retired them fast like Singapore, Air France, JAL, etc..
The only time i happened to fly a 747,was from Mozambique to Lisbon in 1974,about 10.5 hours flight,Air Portugal TAP,we passed a 707 that had left about 1 hour before the 747,
I have a question. Is it true that the FAA can fine you or put you in jail for filming takeoff and landing? the reason I ask this question is because I have filmed one landing and I am going on another trip on thurseday but my dad said that I wasn't aloud to film!
This is basically an all new airplane, with new wings and engines, so it may look unlike a 747 from inside. This uses new technology borrowed from the 787. Seems like the new 747-8i is using more composites in it's wings, compared to 747-400. Please google "/747/design_highlights/#/home"
Wow. Unbelievably quite. Beautiful. Compare it to the 747-400 youtube video "LH 747-400 Takeoff Hong Kong". And perfect timing with the video, must be an #avgeek
At last, no more refrigerator sound. Finally, GE has decided to design an engine which is very quiet. Older engines like GE CF 6 and PW used to power B747-400 sounds like giant refrigerators, but this one, no noise at all.
Really? Have Korean air not taken their deliveries for the -8i yet? Sorry, I'm mistaken. Looks like they haven't yet. Oh, by the way, Air Canada are considering buying 747-8s.
I'll miss the old days when engines were a loud ear deafening roar. I feel like it added to the excitement of flying. It just seems like the sound should match the raw power they produce.
Yeah, I know BA has plans to retire their 744's with A351's, 77W as well as 781's. But the last 744 for BA will probably leave near the end of the decade. That's what I meant when I said they're not in a rush to retire them. And Lufthansa's 744's are well maintained that the first one retired with ~120,000 hours on it. I think Lufthansa will keep their newer 744's until later this decade. I was surprised Delta decided to refurbish their 744's.
Thats why the dc-9 has forever scared my heart forever. I realize quiet tech is going to change commercial aviation, and now have realized if you want noise. Watch a fighter jet!
I'm sorry, but I miss the loud engines! There is nothing quite as satisfying as hearing the loud roar of an aircraft engine pushing you back into your seat as you race down that runway.
Repairman4, there is nothing wrong with the angle of the #4 engine. It's a trick of the eye that makes it look freaky. The video was taken from a perspective behind the front of the cowl on #3, so of course the fan blades won't be visible from there. #4 is well aft of the camera, so you can look right into the engine. This is how all 4-engined plane videos look when shot from a perspective like this.
am I the only one who's disappointed in how quiet airliners have become...20 years ago, sitting in the last seat of a dc-9 when those jt8ds spooled up feet from your head, you knew something exciting was happening
Have u looked at the orders lately, the -8 is a great aircraft but the A380 is taking most of the orders in this category even though it costs more. Economics wins every time.
I'm amazed at the quiet engines too. Kudos to Lufthansa for ordering the 800 variant. A worthy competitor to the A380 in my opinion. Shame, shame, shame to all the U.S. carriers who didn't bother to order the latest version of "Queen of the Skies." Until they do, I will personally avoid all U.S. carriers for international travel.

That is so quiet! Amazing video! Thanks for sharing. I still can't believe how quiet the engines are! Way to go GE!
Great video of sunset takeoff! The B747-8 has a more quiet engine now.

By the way, Happy 43rd Birthday, 747! (which was yesterday, Feb. 9).
did anybody notice the video is 7:47 long!!
good catch
What a beautifully smooth wing. I remember flying on old 737-100 as a kid and it's wing looking like a rivet porcupine by comparison. Thank you for not tracking on some rock power ballad on the video.
This beautiful bird is so quiet, you can even hear the leading edge slats being retracted!
Almost thought something was wrong with my sound ?? and those engines are pushing some serious thrust especially on T/O that is one amazing bird!

love the look of that wing...it's almost like the early jetliners (such as the 707) in the way it's so smooth and has so few rivets/seams
Wow, I can't see any clinchs on the wing! Great wing! It looks very clean and fine. Amazing.
love the sunset refection on the engine cowling.
Nice Video.
Wow, first time watching a video from the inside of the 747-8. AWESOME!
I flew from Frankfurt to Dulles about 2 months after Lufthansa took delivery of one of the 747-8i and it was one of the most enjoyable trips I’ve ever taken. I got a free upgrade to First Class. I didn’t want to get off the plane. She was sooo quiet. Major difference in noise level between the -400 and -8 series.

Excellent lighting at 4:00 on the engines!

Very smooth and surprisingly quiet takeoff. Well done Boeing :)
Amazing. The 747-8 along with the 747-300 are my favo's !!
I like how the video time is 7:47
special video! deserves a like.
great video yesthat..I know 1 thing is certain..IM never flying across the pond again on a twin engine beast..when 1 engine starts having issues, it gets rather frantic
nice engine color,easy jet?
How could you tell someone what type of Plane they flew, when they flew on it when you didn't?
Amazing!
I love how the video is 7:48 long :) Very nice quality and sound! :D
I am not fully doubting you if this is a 747-8i, or if this is an Airbus 340 (ive been in both). but i am having doubts...no 747 can ever be this quite..heck it doesnt even have that "thrust" feel during take offs like I've felt so many times on the 300, 400 series of the 747. if it is truly a 747, then I am speechless and need to get a flight in this plane!
WOW thats sunset is amazing.
Three engines are genx , but engine number 3 is made by a company called shlaxatax , and it has infinit power and thrust , but the captains usually dont use it more than they need , just around 65 000 pound feet is enough .
3:50 The engines look amazing!
Just out of curiosity, where is this plane flying to? I imagine it's someplace in Europe or Great Britain.
Amazing Video ! Did you use GoPro ? Which edition ? What's the Video Settings ? =)
Thanks
It took about 40 seconds to leave the ground. It seemed to take forever on the old 747s (100s and 200s).
Looks like Dulles -where is plane flying to?
Beautiful work dude.
what airline is operating the 747-8i from dulles?
You're right, but I'm amazed how some airlines get as much out of their 744's as possible like Lufthansa, BA, and Delta when they could have retired them fast like Singapore, Air France, JAL, etc..
The only time i happened to fly a 747,was from Mozambique to Lisbon in 1974,about 10.5 hours flight,Air Portugal TAP,we passed a 707 that had left about 1 hour before the 747,
Amazing, who did you fly with? Lufthansa?
The only engine available on the 747-8 is the GE GEnx-2B67 ... the 787 uses the RR Trent 1000 or a GE ... most are using the RR though.
Isn't it more ironic that 747 was born in 1970 yet it still being produced now unlike the more modern Airbus A340.
How can u make a video like this? A 747-8 and the length of the video! How about that? :):):)
Wow. No longer the distinctive roar of the 747-400. Now the quiet pussycat hum of the 747-8.
Me too, that was my favorite jetliner!
just a beautiful takeoff!!!
GREAT video!
What is that grinding noise?
What airline?
εχεις δει ποτε Α380 χωρις winglets στις ακρες των φτερων?
This is the closest we're ever going to get to feel what the new Air Force One is going to be like when it comes out in late 2024 or early 2025.
Really hope more airliners across the globe order her!
I have a question. Is it true that the FAA can fine you or put you in jail for filming takeoff and landing? the reason I ask this question is because I have filmed one landing and I am going on another trip on thurseday but my dad said that I wasn't aloud to film!
What do you mean its not a 747 ???..what do you think it is? (and please dont tell me an A380 because they are not this quiet)
tu n'a pas entendu le cri de réacteurs car ce sont des tout nouveau plus économe en carburant et l'avion est mieux isoler que les anciens
This is basically an all new airplane, with new wings and engines, so it may look unlike a 747 from inside. This uses new technology borrowed from the 787. Seems like the new 747-8i is using more composites in it's wings, compared to 747-400.
Please google "/747/design_highlights/#/home"
its a bit true but what don't u like about the 400???
A340 has winglets at the end. This has raked wingtips. The 747-8 has redesigned wings that incorporated raked wingtips to replace winglets.
Wow. Unbelievably quite. Beautiful. Compare it to the 747-400 youtube video "LH 747-400 Takeoff Hong Kong".
And perfect timing with the video, must be an #avgeek
Ist das ein Direktflug nach Frankfurt oder München?
Shouldn't electronics be off below 10,000?
Wow, the engines are so quiet that even the tire noise is louder!
They only became gas guzzlers when the 77w and a380 came into service. Before that they were one of the most popular long haul jets out there.
At last, no more refrigerator sound. Finally, GE has decided to design an engine which is very quiet. Older engines like GE CF 6 and PW used to power B747-400 sounds like giant refrigerators, but this one, no noise at all.

Amazing Sky !
nice and quiet but I'll still miss the roar of the earlier engines
all hail the Queen of the skies... forever!
im practically fainting from how quite this engine is :D i wanna ride one T^T
No the 747 is higher capacity and has went through several different models since 1970.
The 747-8 is capable of running on one engine and reaching 986 thousand trillion light years per second .
Thats why the dc-9 has forever scared my heart forever. I realize quiet tech is going to change commercial aviation, and now have realized if you want noise. Watch a fighter jet!
I'm sorry, but I miss the loud engines! There is nothing quite as satisfying as hearing the loud roar of an aircraft engine pushing you back into your seat as you race down that runway.
The video is 7:47 min long, is that a sign ;)
Repairman4, there is nothing wrong with the angle of the #4 engine. It's a trick of the eye that makes it look freaky. The video was taken from a perspective behind the front of the cowl on #3, so of course the fan blades won't be visible from there. #4 is well aft of the camera, so you can look right into the engine.

holy, the engines are so quiet!
By the way great video!
I turned the volume to the max and I could not hear the engines!!! Well, not much
really is airplane this quit? lol i dint even notice when he was on full power
Quietest plane I've flown on.
Check the wings please, the A380 has wingtip fences and this doesn't, just like a B747-8, but if you insist...
One of these engines provides as much trust as B52's all 8 engines!
WOW is it really that quiet??? RIP noise cancelling headphones!
Powerplants sound AMAZING !!!
Have u looked at the orders lately, the -8 is a great aircraft but the A380 is taking most of the orders in this category even though it costs more. Economics wins every time.
shiiit boeing 787i tooo sick, cant wait to fly in one!
are you listen the noise??? very quiet. the 747-8 has the same engines with the 787. the genx. they are the most quiet engines
I know but compare that thing to a 744.Huge difference.
That is quiet for a 747.Thanks Boeing!
Engines are so quiet :O
umm do your homework.. its a 747-8. They use a similar design to the 787 wing, and similar engines. Maybe look at the Boeing website.
I agree but the 400 is good too.
my left ear enjoyed this video
Wow I can't believe how quiet. It Ringing Buzz of the 47-400 will be missed ... by some nuts like me.
What? You have to read the conversation to understand my comment...
I'm amazed at the quiet engines too. Kudos to Lufthansa for ordering the 800 variant. A worthy competitor to the A380 in my opinion. Shame, shame, shame to all the U.S. carriers who didn't bother to order the latest version of "Queen of the Skies." Until they do, I will personally avoid all U.S. carriers for international travel.
