What kind of advantages would a Boeing 747-9 Intercontinental have compared to the 747-8 version? First of all, it would be more environmentally friendly: it carried 81 more passengers which means a smaller fuel consumption per seat and it had a smaller fuel consumption in general, too because of its advanced technologies... The operating costs of the Boeing 747-9 Intercontinental would be smaller than those of the shorter version, too...
According to computer calculations a reduction in the fuel consumption by 2.5% could be expected from a Boeing 747-9 Intercontinental compared to a Boeing 747-8 Intercontinental - at the same cruising speed and at an increased number of passengers... I guess because of the powerful structure and the reliable technologies of the Boeing 747-9 Intercontinental all luxury and show effects of the Boeing 747-8 Intercontinental were able to be transferred to the newest version of the Jumbo Jet...
Best wishes, Joseph de la Mikula and Team
