The Boeing 747-8VIP, with a fuselage length of 76.4 meters, is 5.5 meters longer than the existing Boeing 747-400, and its fuel efficiency is also 16% higher than that of the Boeing 747-400.

In addition, the Boeing 747-8 is quieter, more fuel-efficient and cleaner than the current 747 family, by sharing some of the high technology used in the Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner.

The Boeing 747-8 is a large wide-body aircraft manufactured by the Boeing Commercial Airplane Group of the United States. It is the fourth-generation and latest derivative of the Boeing 747 series, and it is the only model that still accepts orders and manufactures. The Boeing 747-8 is the largest civil aircraft built by the United States and the longest civil aircraft in the world.

Boeing announced the development of the Boeing 747-8 on November 14, 2005, and claimed that the design of the new aircraft would be quieter, greener and more fuel efficient than before. In order to increase the passenger capacity, the fuselage has grown to 76.4 meters, replacing the A340-600 as the longest civil aircraft in the world.

The Boeing 747-8 is divided into two models: the 747-8 Intercontinental (747-8I) is a passenger aircraft and the 747-8 Freighter (747-8F) is a cargo aircraft.

The Boeing 747-8 Intercontinental aircraft can carry 467 passengers in the third-class configuration, with a maximum range of 8,000 nautical miles (14,815 kilometers) and a cruising speed of Mach 0.855. The 747-8 is a derivative of the 747-400, so it takes less time for pilots to switch models, and some parts of the aircraft can be shared. The first Boeing 747-8 Intercontinental was officially unveiled on February 13, 2011.

The Boeing 747-8 freighter is a derivative of the 747-400ERF, with a cargo capacity of 154 US tons (140 tons in SI units). The nose cargo compartment can be opened and lifted up to facilitate loading and unloading. The load capacity of the 747-8F is 16% higher than that of the 747-400F, and the number of standard containers is also 7 more. The first made its maiden flight on February 8, 2010.

Boeing delivered the first 747-8 with the improved GEnx-2B engine on the 18th. The improved engine is part of the 747-8's Performance Improvement Package (PIP), with a Cathay Pacific 747-8 freighter becoming the first 747 to be delivered with a PIP engine.

The engine was the first of the three parts of the upgrade package to go into service. The other two components, the flight management computer software upgrade and the 747-8 Intercontinental's vertical tail fuel tanks, are expected to enter service later this month and early 2014, respectively.

The PIP engine can improve the 747-8's fuel efficiency by 1.8 percent, which is equivalent to consuming about 30 tanker trucks less fuel per aircraft per year.

All three PIP components can be retrofitted to service 747-8s. The vertical tail fuel tank is only suitable for the 747-8 Intercontinental, and the flight management computer software upgrade can also be applied to the 747-400.

At the 2013 Paris Air Show, Korean Air agreed to order five 747-8Is, in addition to five ordered in 2009. The Lufthansa passenger version is the only operator for mid-2013.

The first engine runs on the 747-8 were completed in December 2009, and Boeing announced that the new model had successfully completed high-speed taxi tests on February 7, 2010.

Further flight testing was performed at Moses Lake, where initial airworthiness and flutter testing were performed, before moving to Palmdale, Calif., for the majority of flight testing so as not to interfere with the 787 flight testing at Boeing Field in Seattle.

On March 11, 2010, the 747-8F had flown 13 flights with a total flight time of 33 hours. On March 15, 2010, the second 747-8F made its maiden flight, and it was briefly based at Boeing Field at Painefield to continue flight testing at Palmdale, before continuing with the first 8F. The third 8F made its maiden flight on March 17 and joined the testing program.

The pinnacle of private jets

1. Makes you feel like home

In fact, the luxury and luxury of the Boeing 747-8VIP can definitely exceed that of many top mansions, with spiral staircases, vaulted ceilings, wall-mounted TVs, wooden floors, and other pleasant equipment. In the words of Steven Hill, president of Boeing Business Jets (BBJ), "it is a prime example of combining unparalleled luxury with operational flexibility."

Roughly speaking, a Boeing 747-8VIP has up to 4,700 square feet of cabin space. For such a large space, you can arrange it like a home or any other style you like. At least it should be divided into several areas that do not "interfere with internal affairs" in an orderly manner, which are used for work and meals respectively. , entertainment and sleep.

2. "Naked" into the world

Looking at the photos of the Boeing 747-8 VIP, many of us are likely to use the word "complex" to describe our feelings - it is indeed very elegant in appearance, but at the same time has a certain deceit.

When a freshly assembled 747-8 rolls off the tarmac, it's really hard to imagine that it's a coveted palace in the sky.

Anyone with a discerning eye will know at a glance that this is definitely not a so-called VIP, not even the lowest standard VIP. In the aircraft industry, they call it a "green suit," which is a downright "bare machine." It wasn't painted or fitted with any equipment, and at best it was a flying machine.

Before embarking on an expedition to break through the clouds, buyers have to work with their design centers—including BMW’s DesignworksUSA and renowned design firms such as GiugiaroDesign—a leading Italian design consultancy. Negotiate and finalize the interior and exterior design of the aircraft.

The 747-8 then flies to the completion center selected by the "master", where the VIP gear will be installed one by one on the aircraft. After all the work is done, the owner finally begins to enjoy their sky palace.

3. The maximum speed can reach Mach 0.86

People can't imagine what kind of speed a plane of this size can have. The maximum speed of Boeing 747-8VIP can reach Mach 0.86, even if all 100 of your closest friends are invited on the plane. That is, if you and your group are in London at night and suddenly decide to fly to New York.

That's absolutely fine, you can have a party on the plane, and when you get to the Big Apple (New York), chances are you won't even have to adjust your watch.

In addition, the 747-8 does not need to refuel before making the return trip across the Atlantic. It's like an extremely durable "air camel", capable of flying 9,260 miles at a time.

Of course, it also has the ability to land at different airports, as well as compatibility with the most common ground assistance equipment, various technological advances have greatly improved the usability of the 747-8.

4. Buyers use an "anonymous" approach

We don't have to guess to know that the purchase of the 747-8 was no accident. Aircraft production takes time, and buyers cannot simply order online or over the phone.

Who in the end staged such a big hand? This must be something people are eager to know. But Boeing has shunned the public's curiosity, not only reluctant to disclose their customer list, but also kept tight-lipped about their purpose and motivation.

Back in the day, Colonel Sanders developed an exclusive fried chicken recipe composed of 11 spices, which later developed into what is now KFC.

By contrast, it might be easier to get the dude to reveal the secret to the recipe. In early 2007, Boeing confirmed that it had sold four 747-8s, and that's all they revealed about the 747-8 order.

5. Starting at $270 million
