Another Boeing Aircraft

way to go, Boeing

At last Boeing has an aircraft that can ably compete with the Airbus A380, albeit late in coming. And yet the new Boeing B747-8 Intercontinental passenger plane has already accumulated 33 orders and more is expected. It can seat 467 passengers as compared to 555 for the A380, depending on the configuration. Its immediate predecessor is the B747-400 but it utilized new technologies that are incorporated in Boeing B787, another new Boeing aircraft soon to have its first delivery. The B747-8 freighter version has already 76 orders.

Way to go! for Boeing. Check out test flight of the passenger version on HeraldNet.
