  1. you mean Boeing 747 and why would you want to do that on a beautiful aircraft


  2. You seem to have found a bunch of comedians! They laughed at the Wright  brothers too. I'm not laughing, but I definitely wonder about the practicality of such a venture, you would have to gut it and insulate it well which promotes corrosion, where would you put it, how would you get it there. Your question sparks about a million questions in me. but here's some links you can check out.

  3. OK, misspellings aside (I almost couldn't resist making fun myself), it is an interesting thought. There are at least three potential problems: size, weight, and zoning. Even without the wings, tail and engine that's a heckuva big machine, and it is not very practical to try and disassemble the fuselage into smaller components without destroying the integrity of the structure. The length of the fuselage alone is 231 feet, the width is about 25 feet, and the weight about 100 tons. Unless your "747 house" is going to be located on an airport, there aren't many roads large enough to handle the weight or width, not to mention the improbability of negotiating curves, bridges, underpasses, electric lines, etc., and you'd need quite a substantial piece of reinforced concrete to park it on IF you could get it there. To avoid zoning restrictions, you'd have to be in a very loosely regulated rural location (there are few of those now days) and anywhere else a building permit would probably be extremely hard to get. All things considered, it would be far more difficult and expensive to accomplish your project than to build a very luxurious traditional home. Possibly doable, but not very practical. Consider a smaller plane like a Boeing 727 or DC-9.

  4. It's a Boeing 747.

    The specks are monster spores deposited there by aliens during high altitude flight.  They will sprout into things with tentacles and eat your brain.  It can happen any time.

  5. Specks I wouldn't worry about. I'm sure those will clean off pretty easily. I'd be really concerned about the bowing part, though. Sounds like metal fatigue. You wouldn't want your house to break in half.

  6. That's BOEING 747 not bowing.

    It's a JET not an airplane.

    There SPECS not specks.

    Specs is short for specifications.

    Specks are very small dots.

    Are we quite clear on all this?

    Might try '747 blueprints' or '747 specs' or '747 construction'.

    See what the search engines find.

  7. The specs are probably granular corrosion. I would be concerned as they could ,coupled with the bowing ,cause catastrophic failure. If you can get a structural engineer to come out you would be able to verify this phenomenon.

  8. Sure you are.

    Could be a couple different kind of specks on your aircraft.  It's possible that you have the evil, tentacle-growing alien kind or just grease specks left by some grubby A&P (Although the GRUBBY A&Ps usually leave grease SMUDGES.  The GOOD A&Ps usually leave no trace at all).  Sometimes flies leave specks.

    Perhaps this 747 has just given a stunning theatrical performance and is BOWING to a grateful audience . . . . . It would probably need a pretty big stage, wouldn't it?
