Il suffisait d'ajuster un peu l'emplacement des ailerons

pour qu'il maigrisse de deux tonnes

Boeing has dropped the empty weight of the latest 747-8 Freighters by 2.5t compared to the aircraft delivered a year ago and tweaked the aileron configuration to boost aerodynamic performance.

The improvements were revealed at an industry conference on 29 November by a Cargolux executive, who noted the long-awaited weight reduction arrived with the delivery of the carrier's sixth 747-8F in mid-November.

"Strangely, we're very happy" with the new aircraft's performance, Yves Germeaux said at the Ascend Aviation 2020 Finance Forum, a Flightglobal-sponsored event, in San Francisco.

Cargolux helped Boeing launch the 747-8F with the first order, but then refused to accept delivery of the first 747-8 for several weeks last year due to disputes about contractual guarantees. Another carrier, Atlas Air, cancelled orders for three 747-8Fs last year partly due to performance issues.

But the Luxembourg-based carrier's position appears to have softened with the latest arrival in its fleet.
