Boeing 747-8 Crew Members Get Secret Compartments To Rest During Flights

The Boeing 747-8 aircraft has a unique design feature that allows its crew members to rest during long flights. The aircraft's designers created secluded compartments for staff to sleep or take a break, away from passengers' watchful eyes.

According to the source, the 747-8's crew requirements vary depending on the airline and configuration. Lufthansa operates its models with space for 364 customers across four classes, which means they have fewer seats than maximum capacity.

The aircraft has two crew rest compartments that provide ample room for staff to rest during flights. The Boeing 747-8's designers took into account the need for better aerodynamics, new engine technology, and reduced structural weight, making it about 16% more fuel-efficient per seat than its predecessor.
