Four Engines, it's going to be really huge.

Boeing entering same space where Airbus A-380 is not doing well.

Boeing 747 always had 4 engines.  Nice to see Boeing upgrading their old Jumbo Jets !

from 3 1/2 decade she is called as "Queen Of Skies" with unbeatable safety and flying records,
She was a Queen
She is a Queen and no doubts
She will remain as a Queen.
and pilots say 747 is one of the easiest plane to takeoff and land in any condition

Some pilots also say that AirBus because of its technology is easiest, they also add that, you need to do some efforts to fly a boeing but airbus is ....a butter....

@asinghatiya totally agree with you ! its like heaven working with airbus compare to boeing because of room inside cockpit or Electronic bay under cockpit is quite large compared to boeing (comparing b/w 320/21 and 737) ,
slowly intermediate range aircrafts are replaced by 320/21 instead of b737 or even now days they are equal, but coming to intercontinental still airbus need to work hard like comparision b/w 330 to 777 , or 380 to 747! and again 380 needs twice the length of runway where 747 can land and takeoff.
