As they point out, "Heavily fuel laden wings represent a different behavior pattern than do lightly loaded wings, both during ground operations and in flight. According to PMDG these include elements such as model wing stiffness and the response of the airplane wings to various changes in flight.

PMDG 747 FUEL SIMULATOR
The big news is two-fold: PMDG have completely rethought aircraft dynamics modeling, moving the point of reference to the aircraft's nose, rather than within the airframe space as is assumed in Microsoft's Flight Simulator design-and implemented through mathematical modeling using authentic Boeing specifications and engineering data. Instead, this review highlights refinements the PMDG 747 brings to the flight simulation community. In fact there are so many similarities that I refer you to those reviews for in-depth coverage of panel features and the like, rather than to describe them again here. Anyone who has learned either of these aircraft will feel at home with the PMDG 747. Inevitably PMDG's 747 implementation will be compared with their earlier 737NG, and for that matter with Level-D Simulation's B-767 (reviewed this past May).
PMDG 747 FUEL SERIES
Along with the popular Boeing 777, the 747 is a key element of the Boeing long-range market strategy.Īfter some eighteen month's effort the PMDG development team has released Boeing's largest airliner for MS Flight Simulator, applying their notable expertise in systems modeling already celebrated with the breakthrough PMDG 737NG series (reviewed here in May 2004). 855 - or 85.5 percent of the speed of sound. And, the 747 continues to be the world's fastest subsonic jetliner, cruising at Mach. The 747-400 incorporates major aerodynamic improvements over earlier 747 models, including the addition of winglets to reduce drag, new avionics, a new flight deck and the latest in-flight entertainment systems. The 747-400 continues the 747 family legacy by integrating advanced technology into one of the world's most modern and fuel-efficient airplanes. As stated at Boeing's 747 family webpage (click on 'background info): Originally placed in service in 1970, Boeing's -400 version was introduced in 1989.

The Boeing 747 is well known to anyone who has ever taken a long journey by air.
