Umm...the opening nose door has been an option since the first 747. That's why the cockpit is up where it is.

[davidszakacs]

We took the factory tour of the Everett, Washington plant where the 747 and 787 Dreamliner are made. Very cool. Get there if you can.

[TomokosEnterprize]

Always a good post from you folks.Thanks a bunch folks.

[cutehim]

And I have the pleasure of working on ups 747-8 ever night ❤✈️

[Tom-okrh]

Who could have imagined that after the first powered flight in 1903 that a plane would be able to carry cargo like actual fire trucks and tanks and other heavy equipment..unbelievable

[TheGalwayFarmer]

one flew over me this morning. An absolutely awesome sight

[aztecpilot]

cool video, very interesting to watch and nicely done. while the 747F was narrated, the assembly line showed a 777.

[JamesHorn-ib]

I like the big shipping and receiving transportation vehicles

[JamesHorn-ib]

Yes the right smooth fits of parts and wires

[TheJoeSwanon]

Love to know the story of that Fire truck

[craigwiester]

Seems to me the Antonov AN-124 can haul several tons more than the 747-8f.

[donwilbanks]

Very interesting how footage and how this documentary post about those biggest airplane made. Amazing guys how the invention planned. and thank you .

[Great-Documentaries]

Amazing what you can do with stock footage these days.

[InvertedFlight]

It amazes me how they can take so much stock footage and make it's so boring. I don't know who writes the narration on this, but it sounds like corporate Babel to me. And yeah, could you possibly read your script any slower?

[philipward]

With a maximum payload of over 250 tons and a cargo hold capacity of 1, 100 cubic meters, the world's largest cargo aircraft is the Antonov AN-225 – use the world over for enormous air cargo charter projects.

[JamesHorn-ib]

I better get me a ran McNally globe map

[davidmontville]

1:44 Thankfully, the ridiculous, monotonous music stops here

[davidquarles]

For the love of Mike, turn off that music! It drove me away.

[NOM-X]

start using feet. people don't understand knm, meters, etc. Helps out.

[roncooke]

The comical music was some distraction
