It was quite a surprise to the engineers of Boeing when the model of the Boeing 747-8 Intercontinental first surpassed the speed of sound in computer simulations and then in the wind channel, too... The first flight tests of the new Jumbo Jet of Boeing also proved that the machine is capable of a cruising speed of Mach 2...
The strange occurance which is of course not quite legal yet can be explained by 2 factors:
a) the hump on the fuselage is already so long that the legendary aircraft took the shape of a wing profile and became a flying wing concept;
b) compared to this major hump the engines sit very low that increases their "torque" and power output, respectively...
For airlines and private customers who are still hasitating whether to buy the new Boeing 747-8 Intercontinental instead of the older versions of the airliner The Boeing Company is going to send rescue teams because the potential and otherwise satisfied customers of the Jumbo Jet must be under the influence of forces of bad intention...
Best wishes, Joseph de la Mikula and Team
