Has nothing to do with poverty. Travel and transportation is a choice anywhere in the world. Has nothing to do with economic status. Some simply don't like to fly while others live their entire lives in a city and thats it.

747 is being retired globally because bigger capacity aircraft now have more efficient engines.

Who needs four engines when two can do the job better.

High aviation fuel cost. Global warming. Carbon footprint. Going green...

the topic is why the 747 has the hump. No one asked you if they are being retired or not. Next time try sticking to the topic or create your own thread about why 747 and the A380 are being retired. Capiche?

obafemee80:


Ever wondered why Boeing 747s aircrafts have a giant hump in the front? Back in the 60s when the now iconic 747 aircraft was being conceived, Boeing believed the faster supersonic aircrafts, designed to fly from New York to Paris in just under 3.5 hours, were the future of passenger flights.



So in order for its upcoming 747s - that will take 8 hours for the same trip - not to become obsolete in the nearest future, Boeing planned ahead by designing the passenger aircraft in such a way that it can easily be converted to a cargo plane (freighter).



To create the giant front-loading cargo door that will allow easy cargo loading and unloading, Boeing designers removed the cockpit from the nose area and placed it in the newly created Hump area above the passenger cabin.



Today, more than 1500 747s have rolled out of Boeing's Everett production facility. The Queen of the Skies have also carried more than 3.5 billion passengers and flown the equivalent of 80,000-plus trips to the moon and back.



The most famous of all the 747s is the tech-filled United States Air Force One presidential aircrafts that ferries the U.S President around the world. It costs around ₦52 million per hour to keep the ultimate in presidential privileges in the air.

Nice share!

Which day will Nigeria get the technological know how to build aeroplanes?

We hundreds of universities with most of them offering engineering.

The thing about opinion is that even if not solicited, you can give it.
You have given yours. I am not really bothered about your opinion. You seem to be bothered about mine. Free me.

Life goes on.

I was at the Ikeja airport last year's August to process the yellow card when my company wasted to send me to this same stupid XENOPHOBIC South Africa for a two weeks training... until them deny me visa. Thank God I did not step leg on that Xenophobic land . God punish them.

What about Boeing 737 Max that killed 365 people between two months interval as a result of faulty softwares being installed in it, but they were about to assign the blame towards pilot error...... Please don't even mention Boeing again in the midst of intellectual people.

ohh

If you are in Lagos, there are coordinated visits in and out of the airport to members of the public. Schools take advantage of these visits as excursions.
I am referring to MMA, MMA2 and GAT at Lagos Airports

Not all 747s have that cargo ramp thus, i doubt if that was the main reason for the hump as there are other versions of 747 that lack the ramp

My grandfather designed the 747 plane but because he is Nigerian they won't credit him
I still have blueprints tho don't know what to do with it

if ur ryt, social media is ur ally

There are lots of rich men who do not fly.

If that's true you can make a video and tag them

Airbus A380 uses four engines, though its much bigger than the 747

The giant hump is occupied by first class passengers. Staircase is being used from the economy class. Get your facts well

Autojosh this same Boeing again? So because of extra load dem go kukuma dey fall from sky

simonlee:
OP i disagree with you on this!

the first-class cabin is in the nose (hence the giant hump) so no one will walk through, like in regular aircrafts!
As for the poster below... i understand your situation, i used to be like you

If it's first class, then why are they moving goods into it through the 'cockpit region'? Cockpit's above, at the hump.

oloyede90:

True.
Airbus tried to use cost per seat model with the A380 to make a killing, but it didn't get enough orders.
Sales worldwide is very poor, and production will end 2021.
And it also has a "hump that runs all the way to the tail" that looks like a big forehead.

Cargo configuration is different from passenger configuration

Not a lie. For passenger planes first class, freight more cargos

N a dat Airforce One i dey give gbosa, a plane dat can be refuelled in the air and so many other SUPER FEATURES that they wont even tell us.

That will never ever happen

I love the colour on the plane in the 5th picture.
