First Boeing 747-8F Nears Completion
The first 747-8F is pictured below from earlier this week.
RC501 is gearing up for gauntlet testing and will be joining the flight line in the coming weeks.
RC501 is over 90% complete and first flight is on track for this quarter says VP and general manager Mo Yahyavi while the first production unit that will enter service upon completion of the flight test program is in the wing seal position.
After a lull in production, seeing the production line much more active for the first time in almost a year, the 747-8F still has plenty of work to do before first flight - that said, optimism across the 747 team is certainly running high.
