PARIS AIR SHOW - Boeing Signs Orders and Commitments for 17 747-8 Intercontinentals
The Boeing Company [NYSE: BA] today announced orders and commitments for 17 747-8 Intercontinentals. Placed by two undisclosed customers, the combined deals are valued at $5.4 billion at list prices. One carrier has committed to 15 of the new passenger version of the 747-8 while another carrier placed an order for two.
"These orders for the 747-8 Intercontinental mark a major milestone for the program and demonstrate the market's need for an airplane of its size and range," said Jim Albaugh, president and CEO, Boeing Commercial Airplanes. "It will play a valuable role in further growing these carriers long-haul route networks."
The orders bring the 747-8 Intercontinental total backlog to 50 firm aircraft, plus five from a commitment from Air China contingent on Chinese Government approval. It also brings the total 747-8 backlog, including 76 747-8 Freighters, to 126.
The new 747-8 Intercontinental carries 467 passengers in a three-class configuration. The airplane features a new wing design and an upgraded flight deck. The airplane interior incorporates features from the 787 Dreamliner including a new curved, upswept architecture that will give passengers a greater sense of space and comfort, while adding more room for personal belongings. The architecture will be accentuated by lighting technology that provides smooth transitions for a more restful flight.
Using 787-technology GEnx-2B engines, the airplane will be quieter, produce lower emissions and achieve better fuel economy than any competing jetliner. The 747-8 Intercontinental is more than 10 percent lighter per seat than the Airbus A380 and consumes 11 percent less fuel per passenger. That translates into a trip-cost reduction of 21 percent and a seat-mile cost reduction of more than 6 percent compared to the A380

PARIS AIR SHOW - Boeing leva para Le Bourget o novo “jumbo”
Presstur 20-06-2011 (06h11) O novo Boeing B747-8 Intercontinental, uma versão alongada do seu lendário “jumbo, fez ontem em dez horas os 8.149 quilómetros entre Seattle, EUA, e Le Bourge, França, onde é uma uma das “estrelas” do fabricante norte-americano para a edição deste ano do Paris Air Show.
O novo avião vem com 467 lugares em três classes, mais 51 que o seu antecessor, o 747-400, mas continua a não superar o rival A380 da Airbus, de 525 lugares.
A família 747 “nasceu” há 42 anos e até 2005 era o maior avião comercial em operação.
Mais do que a sua capacidade, a Boeing destaca o seu desempenho e inovação tecnológica.
O novo avião, diz o fabricante norte-americano, terá o mais baixo custo por lugar x milha percorrida (ASM) entre os grandes transportadores.
Relativamente ao seu antecessor, o 747-400, a Boeing diz que a nova versão tem um custo por ASM 12% menor que o seu predecessor, o B747-400, acrescentando tem um economia de 16% no consumo de combustível, as suas emissões de carbono são 16% menores e o ruído é 30% menor.
A Boeing, que reclama que o 747-8 Intercontinental é “mais limpo e mais eficientes que qualquer avião da sua classe”, também apresenta algumas comparações com o A380, relativamente ao qual diz que o seu novo aparelho é 10% mais leve por lugar e consome 11% menos combustível por passageiro, levando a custo de operação por ASM 6% menor.
Na raiz está a inovação tecnológica, simbolizada no “8” de 747-8, e que vem da incorporação de tecnologias que foram desenvolvidas para o 787-Dreamliner.
Outro dos aspectos destacados pelo fabricante norte-americano é que o novo 747-8 pode operar em segurança para todos os aeroportos que já recebem o 747-400.
A sua autonomia é de 14.815 quilómetros, o que significa, sublinha a Boeing, que pode voar em qualquer par de cidades a nível mundial.
O preço de catálogo é 317,5 milhões de dólares e a Boeing já tem 33 aparelhos encomendados, 20 dos quais pela Lufthansa, que é a companhia que irá estrear o novo avião em linha comercial, previsivelmente nos primeiros meses do próximo ano.
A primeira entrega, porém, será para um cliente VIP, que receberá o 747-8 Intercontinental ainda este ano
