On November 14, 2005, Boeing announced that it was launching the 747 Advanced as the Boeing 747-8. This will be the first lengthened 747 to go in to production.
The 747-8 will use the same engine and cockpit technology as that of the 787-8. Boeing says that the new design will be quieter, more economical, and more environmentally friendly than previous versions of the 747. As a derivative of the already-common 747-400, the 747-8 has the economic benefit of similar training and interchangeable parts.
The 747-8, as the current new development of Boeing's largest airliner, is notably in direct competition on long-haul routes with the Airbus A380, a full-length double-deck aircraft now in service. For airlines seeking very large passenger airliners, the two have been pitched as competitors on various occasions.
