BTW, is the 747-8 getting a similarly designed composite wing? The drawings look similar to the 787 wing design.
No, the -8 is still a conventional metal airplane with a new airfoil for better efficiency at higher mach number and more efficient engines.
Cool to have 2 new airplanes in flight testing at the same time, except for all the money spent in development at the same time... :eyepop:
