Why The Boeing 747 Has Such A Loud Takeoff

The 747-8 is considerably quieter than its predecessors, particularly the 747 Classic models.

Investing in a jumbo jet doesn’t come cheap…

Boeing built over 1,500 747s over the quadjet’s 54-year production run.

The double-decker quadjet is one of the most expensive commercial aircraft in the world.

Korean Air is waiting for the delivery of additional Airbus and Boeing aircraft, which has resulted in the airline retaining the A380 and 747.

Around 426 or 29% of Boeing 747s are still flying today, although few are still used as passenger transport aircraft.

The new Air Force One program continues to face several hurdles.

All major US carriers have retired the Boeing 747.

As Boeing’s flagship, the Boeing 777X is the closest thing to replacing the Jumbo, although it is not a direct replacement.

The newest version of the jumbo jet gets through a lot of fuel, but its high capacity means that the consumption is spread across more passengers.
