Question

What will be the %( weight ) of composite materials of the B747-8 ?

Answer 1

acctually they not yet building 747-8 nor designing it will take long for they to finish it cause boeing will have a new airplane called BOEING SONIC CRUISER it can travel the whole world in just one take off! well,back to 747-8 when that 747 finish boeing are planing to make it BBJ boeing business jet

so i cant say what it weight will be taht aircraft

Answer 2

At this point all they are saying is that some carbon fiber reinforced plastic will be utilized in the 747-8's airframe to reduce weight; however, structural changes will mostly be evolutionary rather than revolutionary with respect to the 747-400. The 747-8 will feature an enhanced wing with improved aerodynamics.

Answer 3

There is no real answer since the 747-8 has not yet been completely designed yet. I would expect an answer to this when a final design is complete
