Boeing is advising 747-8 customers that maximum take-off weight (MTOW) will rise to 975,000 lb. as a result of additional structural bolstering required for the redesigned wing, but says overall performance will not be affected because of the improved performance of the super-critical airfoil.
An almost audible sigh of relief went around the hard-pressed 787 suppliers last month when Boeing announced a six-month delay to the program. At that point, instead of the three aircraft in flight test as originally scheduled, the troubled project was stretched to breaking point, no aircraft were near completion and Boeing was scrambling to complete a dizzying number of out-of-sequence work tasks.
