Future of Flight, Aviation Center, Mukilteo. Picture of the only existing scale
model of the new B747-8 (a bar in the middle rear part of the upper deck).
The model is presented to potential airline customers
The Museum of Flight, Seattle. Two planes that have made history. The Air Force One Boeing 707 and the first ever B747 Everett. While the first one used to be a flying home to the President of the USA for many years,
B747 Everett introduced a completely new class of wide-body aircraft. Although several decades old, "Jumbo" is still a symbol of progress in aviation
A design study of the new Boeing B747-8 Intercontinental. While the hump is not planned to be extended, the upper deck will still run along the whole length of the plane (as in Airbus 380). Overwing the rest boxes for first class passengers can be seen, then a bar, followed by another
set of first-class suites. The crew rest is in the tail part as in current 747 models
The Boeing Future of Flight exposition also exhibits the Pratt & Whitney 4098 airliner engine. This giant with a rated thrust of 98,000 pounds is often closely explored as well as framed with a whole family.
