Looks excellent so far! :lol:

About 2 years ago I was attempting to design the once proposed 747X Super Stretch, but with a lack of time and knowledge it pretty much fell through.

Very, very nice! :shifty: I know this is in a very early stage, but can I suggest some stuff?

-The upper deck seems a little liw. Might want to raise it just a little.
-I think the tail should go a little further back too.

Don't get this wrong, your model is very nice. Just thought you might like some advice. :lol:
Oh, and by the way, the website www.747.newairplane.com may be useful. :angry:

I wonder how the engines will sound....Boeing says they'll be quieter than the 400's engines.

From what I saw on the boeing site, the engine "spikes" are more rounded than yours. Could you possibly improve on that?

I think the wings will flex like you see in the pictures in the air, so maybe make them at a normal hieght and add the flex is as an animation. Makes it more real.
