B747-8 is an improved version of B747-400 (no more in production), reducing the fuel and maintenance cost, some improvements are also made in the Cabin Passenger Areas, powered by four (4) high bypass turbofan engines GEnx-2B.
Also it uses improved and advanced materials for the structures:
● Composites for the flight control surfaces, Nacelle
● Advanced Aluminum Alloys for the main frame and wings etc.
● Titanium/Steel for the Strut/Pylon
These improved materials are better corrosion and damage resistant, which reduce the maintenance cost and ground time.
Fly lighter, Enjoy Quieter, Easier Maintenance, and lower cost.
