Pictures: First unofficial photos of Boeing 747-400 Large Cargo Freighter rolling out in Taiwan
Permalink Closed

The first unofficial photographs of the specially-modified Boeing 747-400 Large Cargo Freighter (LCF) have emerged, showing its roll-out after undergoing structural work at Evergreen Aviation Technologies in Taiwan.


The 747 LCF is one of three destined to carry large structural parts for the 787 programme from suppliers in Japan, Italy and the USA to Boeing's 787 final assembly line in Everett, near Seattle. 


The aircraft incorporates an extended "bubble" fuselage, similar to that of the Airbus A300-600 Beluga, to enable it to accommodate outsize cargo. It was rolled out of an EVA Air hangar in Taipei earlier this week. Evergreen Aviation Technologies is a joint venture between EVA Air and General Electric.


The volume of the LCF's main deck is 1,845m3 (65,000ft3), three times the volume as the standard 747-400 freighter.

The official roll-out is planned for later this month.

Doesn't it look as if Boeing wants to build the Boeing B380

Just my two cents....


Why when they can completely take the body and merge it with the cockpit and create a more smooth flow.....there will be wind resistance and more fuel burn....

very valid point, and I maybe wrong but I feel if that was done it would look very much like A380, which they won't like to do.  But, if done can come out to be a very potent freighter.

The bubble section could be unpressurised with a thinner sheet of metal. The fwd section up to the #1 doors could be the pressurised section only. The unpressurised rear fuselage will reduce the wt of structure around the tail door too. Picture in post#70 by 787 shows the outflow valve under L1 door. Picture in post#1432 by the 380 shows the rear fuselage without any reinforced strap, you normally see this around the rear pressure bulkhead. Since this is specfically for the purpose of carrying a/c structure a unpressurised hold makes no diff to the freight. Crew and loadmaster have plenty of room up front.
