747-8F

As Triumph idles 747 component production will Boeing follow?

The sole manufacturer of fuselage sections for Boeing’s 747 program, Triumph Group, has begun parting out its California factory and yesterday began auctioning off equipment. The company has built 747 fuselages for Boeing since the aircraft was launched in 1966. Boeing currently only has eighteen 747s left on firm order. All of them are -8Fs, […]

波音公司747-8F的订单积压量降至19架

积压的19架747-8F订单中，有大部分在未来是要交付给UPS的，而UPS对波音公司仍有15架同型号飞机的定期订单。至于波音订单薄中的其他四架飞机，尽管被指定给“身份不明的客户”，但这些飞机很可能最终会成为伏尔加航空集团（Volga-Dnepr Group）旗下某航空运输公司机队中的一部分。去年，在范堡罗航空展（Farnborough Airshow）上，波音公司和伏尔加集团宣布双方敲定了五架747-8F飞机的订单。今年3月份，波音公司向航空资本集团（Aviation Capital Group）交付了订单（64787）中的一架飞机，后者随后将该飞机租赁给了空桥货运航空公司（AirbridgeCargo）公司 [FAT 004793]。 于是，747-8F的未来将何去何从呢？目前，该型号飞机的产量正以每月0.5架的速度增长。如果没有进一步的订单或生产率的变化，747-8F的订单积压量将在2022年底左右枯竭。早在2016年，波音公司就已经在正式的场合暗示了该项目的结束不可避免。该公司在宣布其2016年第二季度的营收结果时表示，“如果我们无法获得足够的订单和/或市场，又无法降低生产和其他方面的风险，我们将能预料到我们会承担额外的、也许是重大的损失，有鉴于此，我们完全有可能决定终止747的生产。”
