Boeing 747-8

I still get chills seeing the 747-8 model planes first flight.... I am a boeing fan through and through!

Airbus A380 First Flight

the Airbus A380 Model Airplanes first flight.... was it better than the Boeing 787 first flight? I have a soft spot for Boeing, and I have to say the Boeing 787 is in another class, and is more technically advanced, but seeing this huge aircraft take to the skies always takes my breath away.

Delta Airlines A330

These Model Airplanes are finely handcrafted, and hand painted by our artists - to scale and museum quality. 18 inches in length with custom models available. The A330 was built to directly compete with the Boeing 767 and can accommodate 295 passengers in typical three class layout.

There are currently thirty three Delta Airlines A330-200 in commercial service.

The Airbus A330 is a large-capacity, wide-body, twin-engine, medium-to-long-range commercial passenger airliner. Built at Toulouse in France by Airbus, over 600 units have been delivered.

First flown in 1992 the A330 was developed at the same time as the four-engined Airbus A340 and shared common fuselage and wing components. The first variant (series 300) was delivered to Air Inter in 1994 and was followed by the slightly shorter series 200. This has been followed by dedicated freighter variants.

Singapore Airlines 777

This Model Aircraft is finely handcrafted, and hand painted by our artists - to scale and museum quality. The B777 was built to bridge the gap between the 767 and 747. The Boeing 777 can accommodate over 300 passengers in typical three class layout.

There are currently forty six Singapore Airlines Boeing 777 in commercial service.

The Boeing 777 is a long-range, wide-body twin-engine jet airliner manufactured by Boeing Commercial Airplanes. It is the world's largest twinjet and is commonly referred to as the "Triple Seven". The aircraft has seating for over 300 passengers and has a range from 5,235 to 9,380 nautical miles (9,695 to 17,372 km) depending on model.

Its distinguishing features include the largest diameter turbofan engines of any aircraft, six wheels on each main landing gear, a circular fuselage cross-section, and blade-shaped tail cone.[5] Developed in consultation with eight major airlines, the Boeing 777 was designed to replace older wide-body airliners and bridge the capacity difference between the 767 and 747. As Boeing's first fly-by-wire airliner, it has computer mediated controls; it is also the first entirely computer-designed commercial aircraft.

The Boeing 777 is produced in two fuselage lengths. The original 777-200 model first entered service in 1995, followed by the extended range 777-200ER in 1997; the stretched 777-300, which is 33.3 ft (10.1 m) longer, began service in 1998. The longer-range 777-300ER and 777-200LR variants entered service in 2004 and 2006, respectively, while a freighter version, the 777F, debuted in 2008.

Both longer-range versions and the freighter feature General Electric GE90 engines, as well as extended and raked wingtips. Other models are equipped with either General Electric GE90, Pratt & Whitney PW4000, or Rolls-Royce Trent 800 engines. The 777-200LR ranks as the world's longest-range airliner and holds the record for longest distance flown by an unrefuelled commercial aircraft,[6] with the demonstrated capability to fly more than halfway around the world.
