new freighter The B747-8 freighter also provides flexibility, enabling
operators to choose between carrying greater revenue payload – up to an additional 20 tonnes – or flying up to 2,593kmfarther inmarketswhere cargo density requirements are lower. Additionally, the B747-8 freighter should fitwell into
today’s airport systemand operations, giving airlines the ability to utilise the aircraft on any route currently being flown by the B747-400 freighter. Itwill use the same pilot type ratings, services andmost of the same ground support equipment as its popular predecessor. Boeing believes its newaircraft represents a fresh
benchmark in fuel efficiency and noise reduction, allowing airlines to lower their fuel costs and fly intomore airports atmore times of the day.
EFFICIENCY AND ENVIRONMENT The B747-8 freighter surpasses its predecessor’s legendary efficiency,with nearly equivalent trip costs and 16 percent lower tonne-kmcosts than the B747-400 freighter. “The 747-8 freighter continues the leadership of the 747
freighter family,which carriesmore than half of theworld’s air freight,making it the standard of the air cargo industry,”
pointed outMoYahyavi, vice president and general manager of the 747 programme for Boeing. Through the benefit of newengines, amore efficient
structure and its advanced aerodynamics, the B747-8 freighterwill enjoy the lowest tonne-kmcosts of any freighter, giving operators unmatched profit potential. The newGEnx-2B67 engines incorporate the latest
