Ladies and Gentlemen,
When the Boeing 747 was designed and built around 1970 an old dream of aviation experts was realised: a large airplane which is 70 meters long and 70 meters wide... Many years later when the Airbus A380 was constructed another dream of the aviation industry was fulfilled: a large airplane with 2 full passenger decks... Out of a technological point of view the Airbus A380 is a better aircraft because it is larger than the Jumbo Jet of Boeing, it is capable of carrying far more passengers and therefore it is more economical than its American rival... This greatness of the Airbus A380 is expressed in its 2 stairwells - while the Jumbo Jet of Boeing only has one eye-catcher of that kind...
However the Boeing 747-8 Intercontinental is so refined and it is technologically so advanced that it can be admired for its environmentally friendliness, its comfort and its reliability any kind of competitors may be realised... When the huge capacity of the Airbus A380 is not needed the Boeing 747-8 Intercontinental still dominates the sky and delivers... Because of the logical necessity of the Jumbo Jet of Boeing I think the future of the Queen of the skies is secure...
Best wishes, Joseph de la Mikula and Team
