Is true they are building a new version of the Boeing 747 Jet?

747-400 is going to be a newer and longer version to compete with the new Airbus double decker?Is true they are building a new version of the Boeing 747 Jet?
Yes Boeing is building two new versions of the 747, the 747-8F and the 747-8i. No Boeing is not considering building a full double decker, at least for now. The 8 series 747 is the 3rd generation of the aircraft, and will be the last. Boeing might consider building a true double decker out of composites sometime after 2020 or once the market matures for a VLA(like the A380). Boeing might have the advantage is that case since Airbus will just make an next generation of the A380, while Boeing has a clean sheet design, make of composites.





The 747-8 will be 250' 8'; in length in both the freighter and the passenger version. Although Emirates was interested in the smaller 747-8i that Boeing had orginally offered. I wouldn't be suprised if Boeing offered both sizes esp. if Emirates orders 20 frames. Emirates already ordered 10 frames of the freighter. Boeing will do anything realistically possible to please Emirates. Once they take dellivery on all of their Boeing 777's they will be the worlds largest operator of the type with around 85 frames. Emirates has on order with Airbus 45 A380's. Nothing would make Boeing happier than to sell more Boeings to Emirates with a cancelation on some of the A380's. So far only FedEx has canceled is A380's and switched the the Boeing 777.Is true they are building a new version of the Boeing 747 Jet?
Yes they are going o build a boeing 747 called the 747-800 it is going to come out in the late 2008 and it will begiven to customers every where in 2009 it will have more room then the 747-400 and Boeing is taking out the boeing 787 that will be smaller but really good.

there are rumors that Boeing is going to build a boeing 747-800. which is longer and has a little more room thean the 747-400 but it will not be as big as the Airbus A380
well yes they are!! they are upgrading the 747-400 to 747-800! it won't be as big as the A380 but, it would be more spacious!!!
Yea they are building the 747 - 800 which is more better compared to the 747 in service today. i have also heard rumors about the 747 double deck.not sure about that one.
Yes they are seriously considering it
yes, they are upgrading the 747, but I don't think it's as big as the airbus.
There were rumors of a larger upper deck 747 to compete with Air Bus.......i think the A8380. I think Boing decided not to because there wasn't a big enough market for it. GaS prices rising etc. BUT It was only a Rumour to begin with. It would be nice to have some us building of planes here in house for jobs for us good ole usa! rumors in the areospace industry -- a lot of people talk of the next job, and always hope for that.


BUT== who knows, wouldn't be great? boost our economy!
