The Boeing 747-8 is a wide-body jet airliner developed by Boeing Commercial Airplanes. The 747-8 is the third generation of the 747, with a lengthened fuselage, redesigned wings, new engines, and improved efficiency. The 747-8 is the largest 747 version, the largest commercial aircraft built in the United States, and the longest passenger aircraft in the world.

This a huge update to my original Boeing 747 and the second generation design I used in my shuttle carrier build. This features a far large wing span, more accurate engine, flap and fuselage design. You add more fuel to your central tanks depending on how long you wish to fly, though as of the download you will enjoy a very large range nonetheless. For added realism please enjoy using the inbuilt Fowler flap, slats and spoilers to maximise both the efficiency and the realism of your experience.

For take-off: set take-off flaps (5) to deployed, set slats to retracted (8) and retract the landing flaps (6).

For landing: Set take-off flaps (5) to deployed, as needed; set slats to retracted (8); and set landing flaps (6) to deployed, retard flight controls at 20-30 meters.

V1 - 75 M/s
V2- 90 M/s

Landing approach - 120 M/s
Landing minimums - 85-90 M/s

Action groups:
5 - Take-off flaps
6 - Landing flaps
7 - Air breaks
8 - Slats
10 - Reverse thruster

Constructive feedback is always welcomed so I can try new techniques and try to continue to improve my designs for you lot enjoy, Happy flying!
