Totally scratch rebuilt model - not a rework... |
|
... of a past version. Modeled using more resources and references than before, this is our
most accurate model yet.
|
|
Fully animated landing gear |
|
The gear extends and retracts just like the real 747-400. The extension and retraction time
is also programmed like the real airplane.
|
|
Fully animated control surfaces |
|
Flaps, slats, ailerons, spoilerons, spoilers, elevators, rudders - all are animated.
|
|
Fully animated engines |
|
When the engines are spooling up or shutting down, watch the 3D fan blades spin. When the
engines are running, watch the motion blur. When landing, watch the reverse thrust cascades
open and close smoothly.
|
|
Reflective surfaces |
|
Almost all surfaces have reflective textures. See the metal shine!.
|
|
Tilting and compressed/uncompressed landing gear |
|
As you smoothly rotate at Vr speed, see the nosegear smoothly "drop" down as the gears become uncompressed. Then, see the four huge main gear trucks smoothly tilt back and "hang" down as the giant leaves the ground.
|
|
Animated flexing wings |
|
See the wing and outboard engine smoothly flex upwards! No more popping from position to position.
|
|
Specific engine types modeled |
|
The three engines - Pratt & Whitney 4056/4062, Rolls Royce RB211-524, and General Electric CF6-80C2 - are all modeled, complete with their specific type of engine strut. What's more, each engine variant has been modeled with its specific type of fan blade. The detail goes right down to the number of blades each type of engine has and the direction they spin.
|
|
Translucent cockpit windows |
|
See the "office" and the pilots inside.
|
|
3D pitot
tubes and windshield wipers |
|
Modeled after the real 747.
|
|
3D slat, flap and spoiler bays. |
|
When the flaps are extended and the spoilers up, see right through the wing.
|
|
3D gear bays |
|
See the gears retract into their housing.
|
|
Much more stuff... |
|
You
just have to see it for yourself!
