The great thing about the 747 is that, from it's introduction in the 1970s to now, only one crash was associated with the design of the aircraft. All of the other crashs were pilot error.

The 747 reminds me Porsche 911... in 40 years this incredible aircraft never changed her shape... like the great german car.. a great classic

Man, have any of you taken the time to admire the fact that the design is so beautiful?

Putting a plane with that size in a stall would be scary as hell...

The 787-8 is easily the best looking plane. 747 gets better and better as time goes by.

im surprised that plane can even take off with the size and weight of the test pilots balls..

I'm just concerned that this might not fit in my garage?

2:48 - still one of the most beautiful jetliner profiles.

If you ask me, the 747 is the best aircraft in modern aviation. Great record to back it as well. And just beautiful.

I'm not even interested in planes...some how ended up watching this and it is pretty amazing what people can achieve I mean never in a million years would people thought this was possible(like a lot of other things I know!) but jeeeeezzzus Christ they are proper machines arnt they.

World's greatest airplane (WGA). The stall testing is quite a fete. This is the best confidence building exercise ever pulled. Boeing rules the Global skies!

wowww big plane

They both represent massive leaps in aviation history. Im personally a boeing man, much the same way one could be either a Ford or a Chev fan. Yet, thats all part of the fun of it. Here in Sydney, the A380 is the king of the skies. It makes wide, slow turns around the city every time it lands, but I'd love to see the 747-8 make a a debut here too. There's just something special about the Boeing. Must be the hump.

I reckon being a test pilot would be one of the best jobs, you get to do stuff that normal pilots and even air force pilots don't get to do

+Anthony Kernich You'd need some solid nerves to force your untested plane into a stall though. That's the catch of being a test pilot: Everything you do is an experiment.

man it must be scary the 1st time you stall that huge plane-

too bad the 747 8 isnt being bought by airlines much anymore. shame, its far more beautiful than the a380

I know that the US Air Force has invested an undisclosed amount of time into these tests of the Boeing 747-8. And I'm sure that after testing is completed they'll apply it to both Air Force One

what an incredible machine

we love boeing 747 800

What i love about Boeing's is the control stick. I prefer the full Yoke setup as opposed to the Airbus's joystick only on one side of the plane. the Boeing gives you the more, in control, feeling when you fly.

Beast of a plane. Such a graceful beast the 747.

are the engine trailing edge cowlings scalloped to prevent noise or some other effect? DW Jackson, former 747 QA inspector

Me over here like, this is big yes, but I live 7 miles away from boing field in Everett and they have the dream lifters there and test them over my house

Nuts - I was hoping they would do a hard landing test. Back in the 1970's, I saw a film clip of the first 747 being subjected to such a test - it was awesome! The test consisted of doing a standard landing approach, but without the flare just before touchdown - they basically flew it right into the runway. When the wheels hit the runway, the impact made the wings flap up and down, and the engines wobble from side to side to a degree that was amazing!

They are very awesome to fly on, and it's cool to be able to go to the back and climb the stairs. It really is more spacious. And they're flying with airlines now, so no one had an opinion of the 747-8 to fly on yet.

Wow..!! Just smashing..!! That captatin got balls, pal..!! I do agree with you, CH-2013, It trully freaks anyone out just to stall that immense plane for the first time..!!

Nice Jet Lag Club lanyard Mark! lol!

@nahcray Then be afraid of any airplane flying over you

1:44 Who loved stall test?

the drag and lift of this 747-8 is critical to it's life

So awesome !!

I've flown the 747-8 in a simulator (yes I know that simulators aren't always realistic but the one I have is very realistic) and it is tremendous I have never experienced acceleration from a plane that size also it is fast, VERY FAST. I love it.

Long live the wonderful B747! Can there possibly be a better proven heavy aircraft? The 747 project abounded in uncompromising design and engineering which happily resulted in an aesthetically satisfying jumbo as well. The 747's flight record, shape, superb massive triple slotted trailing edge flaps, heavily swept-back wings, beefy undercarriage & excellent cockpit designs make it my (ultimate?) favourite heavy weight modern jet... :-)

Great, Pilots!

Bowing out love your videos you're awesome keep making new one soon

@impalax327 that's what makes the latest version so great, all the problems have been fixed since the first model was launched in the early 70's.

boeing amazing your sicker than sick thank you boeing

love boeing. these people are best engineers out there

Boeing builds the best airplanes. The 747 is still a thing of beauty...

Watching that stall puts my stomach in my throat! Ugh, I'm glad they test it but I really, really hope it never happens when I'm flying in one.

I love this plane

Beautiful

747-8 is an amazing plane. although i know nothing of aeronautics. lol. cant wait to fly on it.

Lovely. The best aircraft the world has ever seen, period.

love this plane

dont know if i like this one or a380. they both look really nice :)

That looks amazing. I would love to be present at the test flight. That would be so great

The new improvements --ie; payload capacities, engine thrust, etc. For years now they fill em with water barrels to simulate the weight of passengers & luggage. Also, they perform a final delivery flight test with the airline pilots behind the yoke at Paine Field north of Seattle Washington. If I recall, a 747 can handle 20,000 landing cycles before it's retired due to the metal stress caused by the takeoff&landings and pressurization. 747 can last for 20+ years because they fly long range & experience much less takeoff&landing cycles vs smaller A/C. A 747 fuselage expands by 12 inches in diameter after full pressurization causing metal fatigue where the rivets (fasteners) are used to fasten the skin to the spars (aka frames).

There are planes that follow it with camera equipment.. So when you see the 747 in air there is a smaller plane next to it doing the photography. Also, that is a onboard camera. The video isn't bull . (:

Well done Boeing!

0:03 - first time i've seen an airliner stall, i didn't know it looked so similar to a small airplane like the piper warrior stalling. I wonder what altitude is considered safe to perform stalls in that plane is.

Did you notice that the nosegear light flashed immediately after touchdown :D and than turned off again after take off @ GO AROUND phase? :D

the idea behind the testing makes sense to make the aircraft more efficient

Such a beautiful airplane.

on iwch aiport they tested the 747-8i?

one good thing about being a test pilot is. If you make a mistake and cause a million dollar pilot error crash. They cant punish u for it lol

Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooowww!

Nice!

Awesome Plane

747-8, just beautiful

very awesome

To me, the most beautiful jetliner ever (with Concorde - the latter being majestic, but much less impressive though, to my opinion.)

If the Piper Cub was the VW Beetle of airplanes, the 747 family is the Ford F-150. It's big, it's reliable, it's relatively easy to get along with, and it's rugged. Johnny-come-lately Airbus will never impress me, the 747 is the quintessential modern heavy lifter and has been since it wowed flyers at its introduction in 1970. It's only gotten better since. I look forward to what Boeing brings us in the future.

One week ago I was on a 747-400 only 2 seats away from the nose cone

Wow this is cool

When i was a kid, my dream was to fly. You can say i got that from my fathers side since he is a engineer AME-13 (Ret. Chief Engineer for Biman Bangladesh Airlines, yeah not so well known, he also designed to two large hangers of our country). About the dream part, it never happened. Anways if you ever become an Aeronautical Engineer leave a message and i would love to talk about whats going on with the aviation industry. Oh by the way do you know anyone selling Cesna 152, YOM 1983 and later.

the boeing 747 8 is a good aircraft. i think that it will be the plane of the next 20 years

Peace down which touch the runway is disposable?

its mainly a freight plane but there are some airlines that will be operating them as passenger carriers.

Anyone able to link to a reliable source giving information on the materials the 747-8 is built from? I've been reading about new aluminium alloys etc making it lighter but can't find any reputable sources giving the info...

The Airbus A380 kicks ass

there is Major difference in those two aircraft, comparing them two would be a mistake. Both of them are serving their best in their intended sectors.

you an say, that they have to hold on to a stick which got smaller than the previous.

Yes dude this is going to be the best comical plane ever hopefully it's better than 747-400 but I know this will be a amazing plane I love it can't wait till I ride it I'm so exited thank you Boeing for making this amazing plane I knew you were the best plane creating company which is 1000000000 better than Airbus Airbus sucks soooo much Boeing is so good I love you guys!

The thing I hated in the early 747's were the tiny little ugly engines. But the -8 has got big engines and a lenghtened body! Splendid!

Que bueno volar.
