Lombardi says those 747s remaining – increasingly flying freight rather than passengers – will be in service for many years to come. Future generations will share his own memories as a child, watching a 747 climb into the air and wonder how it stays aloft. The Boeing 747 is heading for retirement".

The 747-400BCF (Boeing Converted Freighter), formerly known as the 747-400SF (Special Freighter), is a conversion program for standard passenger 747-400s. The project was launched in 2004 with conversions by approved contractors such as HAECO, KAL Aerospace and SIA Engineering Company. The first Boeing 747-400BCF was redelivered to Cathay Pacific Cargo and entered service on December 20, 2005. [51] Cathay retired the 747-400BCF in 2017 after 11 years of service.

Raked wingtips, similar to the ones used on the 777-200LR, 777-300ER, and 787 aircraft, are used on the 747-8 instead of winglets used on the 747-400. [124] [125] These wingtip structures help reduce the wingtip vortices at the lateral edges of the wings, decreasing wake turbulence and drag and thereby improving fuel efficiency. Another effort to increase efficiency (through weight savings) was the introduction of fly-by-wire technology for the majority of the lateral controls. [9] [ verification needed] The Boeing 747-400 is a large, long-range wide-body airliner produced by Boeing Commercial Airplanes, an advanced variant of the initial Boeing 747.The wing of the passenger version holds 64,225USgal (243m 3) of jet fuel, and that of the cargo aircraft 60,925USgal (231m 3). [118] Compared to the 747-400 and an intermediate 747 Advanced concept, the extra fuel capacity in the redesigned wing allowed Boeing to avoid adding costly new tanks to the horizontal tail. [119] The 747-8's vertical tail unit is largely unchanged, with a height of 63ft 6in (19.35m). [118] US considers Airbus A380 as Air Force One and potentially a C-5 replacement".

By the end of June 2010, the three 747-8Fs that composed the flight-test program had flown a total of over 500hours and had completed hot-weather testing in Arizona. [48] In June 2010, Boeing determined that a fourth −8F aircraft was needed to help complete flight testing. It was decided to use the second production aircraft, RC503, to conduct the non-instrumented or minimally-instrumented tests, such as HIRF and Water Spray Certifications. [49] [50] The aircraft, painted in delivery customer Cargolux's new livery, first flew on July 23, 2010. [51] Main article: Boeing 747 Boeing 747-400 and 747-500X concept.
