747-8 Intercontinental International debut
PARIS--The newest version of Boeing's flagship jumbo jet, the 747, made its international debut on Monday. Dubbed the 747-8 Intercontinental, the plane is more fuel efficient than any other passenger plane in the world and has an all-new aerodynamic wing design, as well as four GEnx-2B67 engines that produce 66,500 pounds of thrust.
In this gallery, CNET brings you a rare look at the interior of the new plane. It's certainly not ready for prime time, or even airline customers, but it sure is interesting to look at.
Here, we see the 747-8 I, as it's called, sitting on the tarmac at Le Bourget, home to the Paris Air Show.
