Air Freight

 
First 747-8 rolls out
 
   
 

The is the new high-capacity version of the 747 that will lower operating costs and has 16 per cent more cargo volume compared to its predecessor. That translates to four additional main-deck pallets and three additional lower-hold pallets.

Boeing has secured 78 orders for the 747-8 freighter from carriers such as AirBridgeCargo, Atlas Air, Cargolux, Cathay Pacific, Dubai Aerospace Enterprise, Emirates SkyCargo, Guggenheim, Korean Air and Nippon Cargo Airlines.

 
 



Boeing and Lockheed Martin, among many other companies, are working on viable designs that would allow helium-filled freighters to be an industry reality within 10 years.

With airships using only a fraction of the fuel of conventional freighters taking off and landing and with some of the heavier varieties being able to carry twice the load as a 747, their cost benefit would be attractive to certain operators, shippers and cargoes.
