With all the activity surrounding ZA001 this week, it’s easy to forget that another new airplane is being assembled on the other side of the factory on the 747 line. Boeing has completed major assembly of the first set of 135-foot 3-inch 747-8F wings. For size comparison, each wing is just slightly shorter than the length of a 737-900ER.
