Boeing 747-8 Intercontinental

Boeing’s Reborn 747

How do you measure up to an industry icon like the 747? By making it better than ever. And Boeing did just that with the new 747-8 Intercontinental.

In addition to being a beauty, this modern marvel is more efficient—making it better for the environment and more economical for airlines to operate. Plus, it offers passengers a truly distinctive flying experience. The 747-8 is large airplane travel the way it was meant to be. It is the shape of the future.

The 747-8 Intercontinental uses 787 technologies to significantly improve the economics and functionality of the 747-8, all while improving fuel efficiency and reducing emissions and noise.

New wing design, next generation GEnx engines, a modern flight deck and new materials are just some of the ways the new 747-8 benefits from the breakthrough technologies of the parent 787.

The new 747-8 wing incorporates the latest aerodynamics technologies to fly farther and more efficiency.

It also utilizes the latest engine technology—General Electric’s Genx. These new engines allow dramatic improvements in fuel efficiency, emissions and durability with significantly less noise and weight than most of today’s engines.

With current fuel prices, superior fuel efficiency is a powerful competitive advantage, and it’s better for the environment. Simply put, less fuel means fewer emissions, and this plane reduces both.

Additionally, the 747-8 is much quieter than other models. By incorporating the latest noise reducing technologies, the 747-8 will be 30 percent quieter on take-off and will more than meet stringent airport noise requirements.

Redefining fuel efficiency and cleaner performance, this plane features a double-digit leap in fuel efficiency, made possible by advanced Genx engines and our new wing design.

The world’s most popular airplane is now better than ever. In order to please passengers with more than technical jargon, the 747-8 Intercontinental was given a gorgeous, contemporary, 787-inspired interior. Travelers will notice the dramatic new entry welcoming them to the warm and inviting cabin, where they will appreciate new features designed with passengers in mind.

Plus, like the 787 Dreamliner, the 747-8 Intercontinental helps keep passengers in the zone. A spectrum of calm lighting gently guides guests through a full flying day, helping them adjust from one time zone to the next. Passengers will not only feel great onboard, but even better when they arrive at their destination.
