Boeing is going to use a 747-400 testbed rigged out with sensors to get wing-loading data for its new 747-8.
It's going to have to lease the aircraft from Malaysia Airlines because Boeing doesn't keep prototypes of its airliners anymore, unlike Airbus, which has an A320, a couple of A340s and an A380 in its own "fleet", which come in handy for testing out new gadgets like winglets and laminar flow wings.
I guess there's only so much you can find out in the windtunnel, as my recent picture of the 747-8 Freighter model at Farnborough shows.

Emma Stone and Eva Longoria had been knockouts last night. Not just the dresses, but everything put together.

I feel like you could probably teach a class on how to make a great blog. This is fantastic! I have to say, what really got me was your design. You certainly know how to make your blog more than just a rant about an issue. Youve made it possible for people to connect. Good for you, because not that many people know what theyre doing.

Good luck getting people behind this one. Though you make some VERY fascinating points, youre going to have to do more than bring up a few things that may be different than what weve already heard. What are trying to say here? What do you want us to think? It seems like you cant really get behind a unique thought. Anyway, thats just my opinion.
