Before I present you the article about the 400 series of the queen of the skies, I want to give you a short update on the latest ongoings at Boeing. This week the prototype Boeing 747-8F got its engines installed. The engines are of the new GEnx-2B engines and the prototype 747-8F is the first aircraft to actually receive this particular engine type. Also on the starboard side the raked wingtip has been installed increasing the span by about 4 metres. I have to admit this will be one good looking plane.
