A Thai
Airways International Boeing
747-4D7 is will soon be lined up on the runway.
Passengers and crew onboard this jetliner, are able to
see a wonderful sunset when the 385000 kg heavy aircraft
climbs the sky. The 747-400 incorporates major
aerodynamic improvements over earlier 747 models,
including the addition of winglets to reduce drag, new
avionics, a new flight deck and the latest in-flight
entertainment systems. The 747-300 three-crew analog
cockpit was transformed into a fully digital, two-crew
flight deck with cathode ray tube (CRT) displays. Six
8x8-inch (200 x 200 mm) CRTs are used to display
airplane flight control, navigation, engine and
crew-alerting functions.
