Feeling the Bumps
I am intrigued by post #3 which infers that a 744 will give a better ride than a 747-8. Are they not the same basic airframe with similar ride characteristics?
Comparing a 747 and a 777, my experience is the 777 provides a more comfortable and stable ride in severe turbulence. Based on more than 70 flights across the South Indian Ocean through Tropical Cyclones.
