BRING BACK THE 747 ! Style, function, power: the 747 will always be Queen of the Skies.

i work with aircraft daily and rarely get to work around the 747, it really feels like it's from another time, the sound of 4 engines running at the same time and the sheer size of it (it is lower to the ground than the 777 but is much larger) i'm glad that i get to see the last of these giants before they're gone.

There was a fire in Southern California a couple of days ago and I saw a 747 Supertanker doing fire retardant drops, super impressive and a great use for the plane considering we were using antiquated P-3 Orions. Great video btw, your stuff is always top notch.

Sadly in the midst of our worse drought on record Cal Fire did not renew the expensive contract. Another reason I'm leaving N. Cal after 25 years for the Coast of Oregon. It was a beautiful sight to see as the fires were within a mile of our home.

There is a hole in my heart where the 747 use to be and I don't think the 777 will fill. God speed queen of the sky

I remember when the first 777s were finishing their testing and starting deliveries, the plane was big news, a major step in commercial aviation and part of the new designs which heralded the true end for 4-engined planes. It's just as well that it turned out to be an excellent airplane, I imagine variants of it will be around for a long time.

I think the 777x is an attractive airplane. It’s operational and financial performance however will determine its future longevity and place at the airports of the world. I suspect we are seeing a practical upper limit in aircraft size assert itself due to what is available as a practical limit on external dimensions simply due to available ground real estate available around and on airports. Future aircraft capacity growth will probably depend on developing the shapes and technology to lift and carry more cargo and people within the physical footprint size (wingspan and fuselage length) of the current heavy jets.

Despite China's insistance they're going to be America's competitor they have to copy almost all of their aeronautic/aerospace technology from the US and Russia (who in turn have had to copy the US as well) just to try and close the gap between themselves and the rest of the world. Even European nations and Japan, who are often innovators themselves, often work with the US, license technology, and/or buy major components from the US.

Even before any upgrades, this design has NEVER looked dated! I expect that this 3rd Generation (X), will be the same and look beautiful for years to come.

@@theread3480 There are still other ,,problems'' with the 380. The wings are one, it's designed for 650 t MTOW, but the -800 has only 560. Because of the needed size (850 sqm) it's aspect ratio (7.8) is too low to be optimal, it should have had 90 m of wing span instead of 80, which costs 10 % of fuel efficiency alone. The -800 should have been never launched with these wings, they should have brought this aircraft as a - 900 or as a -800 with proper, smaller wings for it.

Rumor is, that the 777-9 has to be filled with more then 80% of it's max. capacity, what is around 330 passengers, to break even and it has to be full to reach the advertised fuel mileage per seat. It will be attractive for the largest airports, but the rest is going point to point and there the 787 or A350 are a superior solutions. Either there will be a surge in air travel or the 777X is going to be a relict like the A380.

Great video! the best video for the best plane! Long live the King!!!

Excellent review. Keep up the good work. Thank you.

Great The "Classic" Yokes. No "Nintendo/X-Box style" Joysticks! Extremely Well that fuselage is Still All Metal! Carbon fiber and composites, Cannot Withstand bolts of Lightning. Metal Fuselages Dissipate Lightning bolts Back to the surrounding atmosphere.

Good luck saving fuel and having a quiet cabin. I can see from your comments you haven't flown a A350. Don't compare passenger comfort with purist delights.

This video is superb. Thank you so much.

The lightweight frequency and Turnage of your aluminum extremely strong with push paint and thrust to avoid magnetic attachment

Your detail is appreciated. I am very impressed with the professionalism of this KZread journalism. The world needs 2 extremely advanced and viable airliner manufacturers. Competition keeps the technology growing. I think it will be years before the Chinese join the top level. Although I never underestimate their ability to steal technology and reverse engineer things.

Yeah i don’t know about this plane considering the fact that it has already dealt with issues of body structure test. Not so sure. The last thing they need. We can’t afford anymore air desaster in the skies🤞🏿

The plane was supposed to withstand 150% of the maximum load it was designed for, and during normal operation it'll experience no more than about 50% of that maximum load. During the test, the plane failed at 148% the maximum design load. That's 99% of the test loads, so because of the only 1% difference, the failure was deemed tolerable, and the plane passed. For reference, the A380's wings broke at just 145% during its tests, and the current flying A380s are identical, because they didn't change a thing to get it certified. I'd say the 777X did good enough, considering it did better than the A380 that no one complains about.

@@RazvanMaioru you would have to put the 777X into a nosedive in the middle of a category 5 hurricane for it to reach that stress

Good to know you’re using kN to measure engine thrust instead of lbs force. Keep it easy to understand just like KSP

@@Tarheel13 I think the current events have proven you wrong. Boeing is facing an uphill battle due to the missteps they made with the 737Max certification. The 777X program got delayed several times for various reasons and nobody knows, when the plane is ready for commercial use. Until then you, NCTarheel13, best take your meds

Cartoonman154 . The “ queen of the skies “ will still be plying the airways in 20 yrs time , ok in small numbers . The 777X hasn’t even entered service yet and is not guaranteed to be a success story at all . If it was the “ King “ , how come airlines are deferring deliveries and reviewing the orders . You don’t become a “ king “ overnight , the 777X has to earn its crown , and nothing these days is guaranteed .

QANTAS..... The only Airline asked to be involved in the design of the plane - who didn't go on to buy it.

@@jlmarc01 would you take the risk of a new, unproven design over a solid performer, especially with the constant delays of the 777X program and no certain delivery data? Did you also consider, that the 777X is way heavier then the A350 and QANTAS isn't filling up to full plane capacity, what makes a plane like the 777X inefficient. It might be, that the 777X has not been efficient enough for the requirement of project Sunrise. If you have a cost comparison between 777X and A350 for the project Sunrise scenario, then please post it.
