Question:
I like the Boeing 747 because it has been around forever and it is way better with fuel then the Airbus-A380
Answers:
Also, I agree, the 747 has always been around, so we can trust it; the A380 has been delayed by more than a year because of technical problems. Also, the 747 looks nicer than the A380 in my opinion.
My final reason for liking the 747 is the fact that it's a Boeing. (I've never been a big fan of Airbus.)
What is currentley the fastest plane in the world & how fast will it go?
Boeing 747 it is a proven carrier, that has been flying in the skies with very little problems. The airbus has had trouble since day one. With employee's making it harder.In the future this may change and make way for the"White Whale".
In the movie The Aviator, what is the name of the amphibious airplane?
The airbus is flown electronically and all it take is failure, like from a lightning strike and it's history. The 747 can be flown manually. The airbus is cramped and smaller... As for comfort and stability.. I have flown on both and I will take the 747 any day!PS Yes, she has a commercial pilot license and Lt in the civil air patrol.
Are there experienced pilots who believe global warming and airplanes are connected?
All 4 JR: Your sister is messing up her terms. The 747 cannot be flown manually.If the concord hadn't of been decomissioned in 2003, would it have been a space plane in the future?
My fiance has been a major carrier pilot for 21 years and a captian for 7 years on a Boeing 757....he was a co-pilot on the Boeing 747-200 and 747-400 for 8 years...your sister is misleading people there is NO manual reversion in the 747 without hydraulics, you're dead.
how hard can it be to fly a micro lite, do you need a license?
The Boeing 747 is proven but is starting to show its age. There is NO manual reversion in 747s. All you have to control the plane if the four hydraulic systems fail is differential engine thrust and the stabilizer trim. The only Boeings that manually revert are the 707, 727, and 737. The 747 does have mechanical/hydraulic (no fly-by-wire) that does give an extra element of human control to the jet (the pilot has the last say, not a computer).Which is better the Bombardier Global Express (GLEX) or the Gulfstream G550 (G550)?
The Airbus is unproven and is having teething problems but introduces many advanced features. Every Airbus I have ever flown on has been underpowered (especially the A340) and poorly laid out. Also it seem Airbus makes systems unecessarily complicated.
Why are the U.S. flags on Continental's airplanes backwards?
Every mechanic that I have talked to that has worked on both Boeing and Airbus of the same vintage cringes when you say 'Airbus'.
if u got in a plain and just flew straight would u end up back were u started?
I like Boeing!
Large aircraft, with two figter jets beside it, and another large four engined aircraft behind.?
The Boeing has my vote. It has a long lineage. The Airbus is quite intriguing, but with all of the issues they've been having, well...i'd vote for boeing too, i just dont like the idea of a computer having the last say
There is a Boeing 707, 727, 737 etc. Why no 717 please?
A lot of you are simply too young to remember that the 747 early days were full of the same problems the A380 is having now. In the future the 747 will fall to the wayside as the future will demand larger and larger planes as the public isn't keen to allow new or enlarged airports to handle the ever increasing loads of passengers. In the past they would simply add another flight to carry more passengers now the skies are saturated with planes at all major airports so the only option is to build bigger planes carrying much more people at a hop. The 747 has gone as big as it can go. The A380 is just starting out and has plenty of expansion room left in it's airframe. So my pick is the A380 while the A380 uses more fuel than a 747 it carries nearly twice the cargo and 100+ passengers more thus cutting the need for another plane to take up the 747's slack.correctio All4JR- the airbus is not out for commercial use so i doubt you have flown in it. I'd say the 747 because it is proven and has been around a long time. The NG 747s are going to be even better. These are easier to operate because they use the conventional controls rather than the joystick.
Whats the Best Pilot Training School In Van Nuys, Ca?
I'd say this for many reasons.
Why do some jets leave contrails and others don't?
Very few people have flown on A380s, though they will get certification in the next couple of weeks.Does the Boeing 747-400 require more skill to fly than other wide bodied 4 engine jets?
The A380 is way better than the 747 for fuel, more than 10% better than the latest 747s. Better than the projected 747-800 too. Otherwise there would be no point in building the A380 and nobody would have ordered it.
how many aircraft are in world skies at any time?
The A380 will be smoother to fly than the 747, more weight and all that, like driving a bigger car. The systems are at least as reliable as the 747s systems.
Can you ruin your car if you put aviation fuel in it, lets say 50/50?
A persistant love of the 747 is like my love of the DC3, it's a great aircraft, but it's yesterday's news. The 747 has had a long run, but rising fuel prices and conjested routes lead to the inevitable requirement for larger and more efficient aircraft.
A 747 has four separate hydraulic systems and they are supposed to remain flyable on 2, stopping it once it reaches the ground could be interesting, depending which two you lost. There haven't been cable backups since the 707.
What does the term PSA means and what is it related to?
Boeing has been slightly less than honest in leading people to believe that their aircraft were less computer controlled than the A320, regardless of how it's done there are no direct mechanical linkages between the flying controls and the control surfaces and engines. Even if there was a throttle cable going to the engine it would still be talking to the computers that actually run all modern engines, it would be impossible to use these big engines if the pilot had to manage them directly, just like car engines, the engine management system is the thing that is really controlling the fuel scheduling.
What is the difference between Longer Range (LR) and Extended Range (ER) aircraft?
I think both airplanes are very good in there own way.The Fokker Bondtester 90 is a piece?
The Boeing 747 has been around for a long time, and has been one of the most succsesfull airliners ever built. The newer models will have newer engines that will be more fue efficent. The size of the aircraft is enormus but still has a very good landing performance for the aircraft size and weight being able to land in short runways. It can carry more than 500 passengers in a one class configuration, fly over 8,000 nautical miles without refueling at a cruisng altitude of 35,000 feet at .85 mach a very fast airplane for its size. This is a very reliable aircraft, thats why there are so many in operation for so many years, and we will continue to see this model in the air for a long time.
how can I build my own RC helicopter,please?
On the other hand...
The Airbus A380 is still a experimental aircraft that has not recieved an airworthines certificate, they hope to recieve by the end of this year (thats gona be hard). As it is one of the newest models it will be very technologicaly advanced, making it a easier model to fly and have the pilots more aware of the aircrafts systems while in flight a very computerized cockpit. The intention of these ridicuolosly big aircraft is that the bigger they are they carry more passenger for longers distances, this make the tickets to be cheaper in the price/distance rate. But the problem with such big aircraft is that a lot of airports will have to modify there instalations to be able to recieve this enorumos plane, by the moment only 30 airports worldwide have the instalations big enough to recieve this aircraft, so that is a problem.
When checking the wind speed/direction what does the +## at the end mean?
But both aircraft are very technologiclly advanced and very reliable machines. And beautiful too.

Who was the pilot on for AA who,without authorization, drove to a gate after 9 hours on the ground?
Mexico
why the mobile phones are asked to switch off in an aeroplane?
The Boeing 777 would be better than those two.do you need a seperate license to fly a helicopter or plane?
As for the Boeing 747.
What is your favorite airline? Why?
It probably has a decade or so until it reached its lifetime, not bad considering that it wasn't meant to last that long. The Boeing 747'S succesor probably would be a cross between the Boeing 747, the Boeing 777, and the Boeing 787.
Hi, im an Air traffic controller (MGGT), is there any ATC here to talk to??
As for the Airbus A380
how much does a pilot get paid per year?
While some of its growing pains are the same as the Boeing 747's, some of them are unlike the Boeing 747's. A full double deck airliner has some new challenges.
what is cost of one helicoptor?
Though I am a Boeing fan, it is hard to say right now since the A380 isn't in service yet. What the A380 has going for it is that it is newer so it will have some features the 747 doesn't have. But Boeing is coming out with the 747-8 which will be awesome. I am really glad Boeing decided to update the 747 because I can't picture the 747 being retired from production like the 757 and 767 are.Does Anybody Know Where I could get boeing or Airbus flight manuals or checklists?
I think anything bigger than a 747 would be kind of bad. Can you imagine how long it will take to board and deplane? Also waiting in line to use the bathroom or waiting for your food to be served? Since the A380 will be used for long flights, people will be getting up and walking around. Try walking around the cabin with so many other people doing the same thing. I am not a big fan of crowded places.
How many miles does an Airplane fly in one minute?
I like Boeing 747 better than A380. It's my personal opinion but 747 looks more graceful than lumbering A380. Boeing has delivered over 1300 B747 and still getting new orders from airlines like Lufthansa ordering 20 B747-8s.More Questions & Answers ...
