Summary
„ The 747-8 is a 747-400 derivative with a slight increase in
wingspan
„ The 747-8 performs the same as or better the 747-400:
− Runway operating characteristics are same as or better
than the 747-400
− Taxiing characteristics are very similar to current 747’s
„ Boeing will provide technical support during your MOS
development:
− Probability data of 747 taxi lateral deviation
− Specific aircraft performance data for runway and
taxiway operations
− OFZ-related aircraft performance data

Boeing Support to MOS Development
Probability Statistics
Example
Background:
Taxiway B is an ADG V taxiway. Taxilane W is
designed for aircraft with a 125 ft wingspan (B757200) or less. There is 219 ft between the centerlines of
taxiway B and taxilane W. Having a B747-8 on taxiway
B and a B757-200 on taxilane W would provide for
44.3 ft. between aircraft wingtips
Standard/Requirement:
Table 4-3. Wingtip Clearance Standards. Table 4-3
states that ADG VI taxiways shall have 62 ft. of wingtip
clearance.

Probability Statistics
Example
...the risk of a B747-8 deviating
from the taxiway centerline
enough to impact a B757-200 on
taxilane W .... B757-200 on
taxilane W is 4.440892e-15, with
a 95% confidence upper bound
of 1.276756e-14.

Improved Situation Awareness in
Flight Deck
„ Taxi-map (option)
„ Global navigation satellite landing system (GLS) (new) – less
noise (signal interference) than ILS
„ Navigation performance scales (NPS) (new) – more accurate
flight path information supporting required navigation
performance (RNP) based arrival and departure procedures,
better situation awareness
„ Vertical situation display (VSD) (new) – improves vertical
awareness; path prediction relative to the ground; airplane
shown in a vertical profile
„ Integrated approach navigation (IAN) (new) – ILS-like deviation
alerts, same procedure for all approaches
„ Tire pressure monitoring system (basic on -8; option on -400) –
reliability improved over the years
„ Brake temperature monitoring system (basic since -400)

Low Speed Flying Characteristics Will
be the Same as the 747-400
„ Lateral handling qualities are anticipated to be the same as, or better than, those
of the current 747 models
„ 747-8 retains Code E aircraft maneuverability
The following are design improvements and new features for the 747-8
„ Increased outboard aileron deflection to -30° (-25° on -400)
− Outboard aileron is more effective
„ Use of spoilers 6 and 7 for lateral control
− Improves roll response rate and control
„ FBW aileron and spoilers
− Allows tuning of roll control
„ Increased spoiler effectiveness due to aft loading, flaps up and down
− Improves roll response
„ Double-hinged lower rudder and spudders
− Improved directional control
„ 60° ground spoilers improve braking, landing field length, and rejected takeoff
performance (45° on -400)
„ Drooped ailerons
− Improved takeoff and landing performance
„ Revised rudder mechanism
− Eliminates exposure to single failure rudder hardovers

Summary of 747 Veeroffs
„ No fatality from 747 veeroff incidents/accidents
„ 15% of runway and taxiway veeroffs are categorized as accident
(Serious injury and/or substantial aircraft damage)
„ Runway veeroff rate shows steady decline over the 36 year period
„ Highest causal category of runway veeroff is weather, most of which
occurred in winter months. Runway width probably had no influence
in the outcome.
„ Cause of most of the accidents/incidents described as “mechanical”
were actually pilot error
„ Dramatic decrease in takeoff veeroffs since the early 1990s.
Reasons: Performance improvements, new design features, and
improved crew procedures.
„ Steady decrease in landing veeroffs. Reasons: Same as above.
„ Highest causal category of taxiway veeroff is attributed to pilot error.
Weather has contributed to many of these and careful judgment is
required to determine the primary cause.
