What's all the fuss?
Wasn't the 747 originally designed to be a "double decker", but was downscaled because no one believed it would be able to fly? (Not unreasonalble considering the powerplants and limited manufacturing techniques available at the time.)
What Technology is in the 380 that is NOT available in a new 747?
I haven't seen the specs for the 380 but what kind of operating cost numbers are they advertising? And how are they comparing to the '47?
