What is the fuselage cross-section of 747-400LCF?

When is it supposed to have first flight?

It has already flown. Check out this topic: viewtopic.php?t=17243

hello.

There was no first flight, yet.

modifications are in progress, in Taiwan. This was just a "photoshop" first flight.

As someone mentioned, you can see there are no hinges on the right hand side located at the aft fuselage.

Also, this will not be the coloring scheme.

Regards,

First flight will be before the end of the summer. Anyway, how do you people like the plane, I think it looks awesome.

I would imagine the tail section that "swivels" would weigh a fairly considerable amount, so there may be a fairly significant turning moment on those hinges on the port side of the aircraft.

Is there/will there be a 'supporting" leg or whatever on the starboard side of the tail so it doesn't twist when disengaged from the remainder of the fuselage?
