I am delighted to see that Boeing is to produce the 747 Advanced, or 747-800 as she will be known. It was mandatory for Boeing to update the magnificent 747-400, or else Airbus would be stealing all the limelight and sales with the new A380.
The 747-800 is going to be a massive upgrade on the current 400 version, and it will use composite materials, more efficient engines, and it will be bigger. Check the Boeing site out...

I don't really fancy taking the A380. Boarding, immigration, security will be a bitch and the first one of those bad boys to crash is going to be nasty.
Of course with for the busy airports the A380 creates a problem as they'll need an even bigger lag between take offs.
Yes A380 will be nice to watch, but ideally not best to fly in for after two or 3 years of commercial service.... Nothing beats Boeing.
