But after assembly, some areas are hidden in the fuselage, so probably the visible part is only 36 metres out of the total 45.


What aircraft are we talking about? 45m isn't the wingspan of any aircraft mentioned in this thread...
But if you are reffering to the A380, the wings do not connect to each other in the middle of the fuselage, they are attached to the sides of it...
I don't recall the three wing configuration (the two sections of wing being connected in the middle - thus the third wing being the portion hidden inside the fuselage) being used on any modern or classic aircraft, except maybe some World War II fighters and many GA aircraft (mostly high-mounted wing).

It should be at the bottom of the fuselage so it shouldnt affect the width of the cabin

Large 7E7 assemblies will be transported to the final assembly site on board modified 747-400s. This transport plan will result in saving of 20 to 40 percent over traditional shipping methods and reduce the amount of time it takes the large parts to arrive at the final assembly site from as many as 30 days to only one day. Boeing estimates the savings of using air transport instead of shipping will be recouped within the first few years of production of the 7E7.

Now that is pretty huge, don't you think?

I dont know what it is, but dont Big large American companys always seem to copy ideas. To me that looks somehow like a A380:]

It is different from the A380 in almost all aspects... This is the modification of an existing airframe, mainly for transporting pieces of fuselage for the 7E7. And the way I see it, it will have an opening tail... like the Conroy CL-44-O Guppy

Oh yeah, and the first aircraft that was converted into a "Guppy" was the Boeing 377, back in 1965... The Canadair CL-44 followed in 1969, and the A300-600ST first flew in 1994...
I'm not a Boeing freak, I'm more of a Boeing fan, but these are the facts ;D

Oh, and the A380 idea isn't so original either, the first operational (I think) double-decker was the Breguet 763 Deux Ponts, and in the early 1990's, McDonnel Douglas started work on the MD-12 double-decker, wich was due to fly in 1997.



Looks familiar? ;D

Call me crazy, but I like those planes that seem too big and bulky to get airborne.

Boeing Conducts Wind Tunnel Tests on Modified 747s
October 13, 2003

The first round of wind tunnel testing on a modified 747-400 show the proposed design is an effective solution for transporting large assemblies to the 7E7 final assembly site. Testing at the University of Washington wind tunnel verified the performance characteristics of the airplane in flight.

Right, canard (means duck in french) is most of the time used when additionnal lift and pitch control is needed at lower speeds (see the naval versions of some planes, and planes made to be very manoeuverable at low speeds).
