I think I've seen most of these pictures in other places, but it is really nice to have them all in one presentation! Thanks for the link!

Indeed. Having all the pics in one place is rather convienient.
For the "raked" wing, is that going to be implemented for sure? IMO, that's going to be pretty impressive to see.

Thanks for sharing. The skyloft space seems to be a really great idea- a good use of otherwise unused space. The BBC says that it could be used for smoking rooms- that would be an interesting concept.

Why would they want to?

Quoting RAPCON (Reply 6): There is no way that I will ever purchase a ticket on an A380 flight. It's already cramped enough on a 747 (which I avoid)!
Errrrrrr 840 seats is at maximum Y layout
Typical layout on a 38 will be 555 i think
Its not going to be any more cramped than a 747, the seat pitches will still be the same....
If its too cramped, go business or first!

Whether a plane is cramped or not has nothing to do with its size (well, except maybe if it's a 747 in a configuration for Japanese domestic flights...)

What is that skyloft actually? Is it a prolongued version of what is called the "crown" by many 747 operators (e.g. BA)? For as far as I've seen pictures of the crew rests in in the crown, the place seems pretty cramped. Also it has now windows, so I really doubt the "most expensive real estate in the world" classification.

Quoting EHHO (Reply 11): Also, where will the crew rests then be?
From my understanding, being that the 748 is stretched, as will the skyloft. It will be long enough to accomodate current crew rests while adding potentially more revenue sources like an "option" for economy class passengers to pay an extra 20 bucks to sleep flat, etc...

Maybe not airlines, but what about military projects, namely the Airborne Laser ("ABL"), which is based on a 744F, IIRC.
If that project makes it to "mass" production (a big "if"), I guess the Air Force could either buy a bunch of used 744Fs for conversion, or they could go with 748Fs instead...?
