Let's suppose the Boeing 747-8 Freighter is also capable of higher speeds than conventional cargo aircraft:
a) because of the proportions of its fuselage to the engines and wings,
b) because of its advanced wing design and
c) because of its powerful and new jet engines...
An entrepreneur open-minded and with the satisfaction of air-passengers at heart might have thought: at such higher speeds you cannot see anything from the landscape anyway and passengers who are not all pilots of fighter jets must be afraid at such higher speeds - so why not carry passengers by airplanes without windows (former "cargo aircraft")?
Surprisingly the nearly empty Boeing 747-8 Freighter costs a little bit more than the Intercontinental - as far as I remember... I guess the seating and the entire interior come from Boeing as well...
