Boeing 747-8l The Flyer Wright Bros Plane Boeing 747 8l Total Engine HP 12 HP ~ 90,000 HP

Engine Weight ~ 180 lbs 12,400 lbs Top Speed ~ 30 mph ~ 600 mph (cruising)

Advancements From Wright Bros Boeing 747-8 can carry almost 500 passengers up to 8000 miles. Mankind has walked on the moon. Goods and food products are able to be transported all over world. Completely changed the rules of warfare. Set in place foundation for Globalization to take place. Works Cited: http://www.travel.cnn.com
