So they can do this but cannot get the 777x certified? I think this is bogus propaganda

That will never happen… will need new wings, fuselage reinforcements, probably landing gear too. Will cost more money than a clean sheet design and will take an age to get done. Will also cut in to 777x sales.

"Twin engined 747s" are on the way. It's called the 777x.

So they'll do the same mistake they did with the 737. Instead of making a NEW plane, they will refit the old project and call it a new plane.

Not the same. The 737 could not fit the new engines under it’s wings so they opted for changing the wing to allow the engines to be mounted higher which created the requirement for the MCAS system.

@@pvisit A 2 engine 747 would not need MCAS. The reason MCAS was added to the MAX was because the CFM Leap engines would no longer fit under the wings.

A twin engine A380 is far from possible with today's engines. The A380 is a fair amount heavier than the 747, and therefore requires more thrust. The A380 originally boasted 280,000 lbs of thrust across its 4 engines. The issue with that is, there's no engine powerful enough to match that in a twin engine configuration, The A380 already didn't have good take off and landing performance, so giving is less thrust is an absolute no, and the most powerful engine available, the GE9X, produces 115,000 lbs of thrust, so in a twin configuration it'd be 230,000 lbs, which is a 50,000 lbs loss from the A380s original amount of thrust. I don't disagree that a Twin A380 is more viable than a Twin 747, as boeing already has the 777, which functionally is already a twin 747, but a twin A380 is simply impossible with today's engines

​@Prodagist Well short of what is required. Remember, a twin has to be able to take off and climb on a single engine, rather than three on a quad.

@JPB57

@@Prodagist no only that, the complete wing has to be replaced because the present wing is not designed for 115000 pounds of thrust (or more) at one point. In other words it is impossible to put only 2 engines on a wing designed for 4 even if you could have the good engines

The new aircraft is called the 777X, made by Boeing. A redesigned 747 is not going to happen.

The 747 with 2 engines would be the first dual engine super jumbo. Long haul airlines like Emirates would line up to buy it. Also the 747 was the best cargo carrier plane ever designed, capable of flipping the entire front up to load large containers, something no other plane could do.

The 747 design is ancient. I think Boeing has learned its lesson with the 737; shoehorning new engines into a 1950s airframe is problematic, at the very least.

Boeing definitely won't be making a twin 747, lol. The 777 is, functionally at least, already a twin engined 747. The 777 can carry just as many passengers, just as much cargo, all while being able to fly further, land at smaller airports, and be more fuel efficient. Boeing has no reason to invest money into making a twin engine 747 when they already have a plane that does exactly what a twin engined 747 would do, but better

This will be exactly the same disaster as in case of 737 MAX. Larger engines won't fit, they will be mounted higher so MCAS will be mounted on 747 leading to unevitable crash.

I do not want to see a 2 engines 747 - there is absolutely No need for it. I'm all for bringing back an iconic plane if it's operationally and economically viable but then what's the problem with 4 modern smaller, yet same/more powerful and efficient engines instead. RR are redoing the B-52 engines and are basically fitting small commercial engines into a similar dual pods design to keep the planes structure and engineering exactly the same.

Re-engining the 747 is the easy part. The problem with the jumbo now is that they're getting very old so the airframes are now coming to the end of their useful life, the avionics are old and there's only a handful of the last version, the 747-8. This is not going to happen in a million years.Boeing needs to concentrate on its 747 replacement, the 777-X. Not waste time fluffing about with unappealing and expensive upgrades that will make little to no difference in the long run.

I do not want to see something like this new 747 twin in the air till Boeing gets their head back on straight.
