Queen of the Skies Makes an Astonishing Comeback

With the remarkable success of the Airbus “Double Decker” A380, it seemed the reign of the queen of the skies, Boeing 747 was over. However on February 8, 2010 Boeing Company unveiled the longest passenger aircraft of the world, 747-8 thus bringing the Queen of the Skies back to spotlight. 

Boeing 747-8 has a whopping fuselage of 250 feet 2 inches with a wing span of 224 feet 7 inches. Its tail reaches a height of 63 feet 6 inches which essentially is equivalent to a 5-storeyed building. Just imagine looking down from the roof top of such a building. 

Boeing 747-8 has revived the reign of 747 ‘Jumbo Jet’ after the remarkable success of Airbus A380 had overshadowed the fame of Queen of the Skies.
