Enormous passenger windows — visibly larger than anything else at the gate
Blunter, more rounded nose than a 737, with a distinct cockpit-window 'eyebrow' line
Classic Airbus widebody profile with a long, slightly drooped nose
Unmistakable black 'sunglasses' mask around the cockpit windows
A full second deck running nose to tail — nothing else looks like it
Pointier nose than an A320, and the nose gear sits close to it
The hump. Enough said — but the 747-8's is longer than the -400's
Impossibly long landing gear — it towers over other narrowbodies at the gate
In-between size: clearly bigger than a 757, clearly smaller than a 777
Six-wheel main gear bogies — the signature 777 tell, no tilt-out like an A350's
Dramatically raked, high-flex wings — in cruise they sweep up like a gull's
2-2 seating visible through the windows — no middle seats
Rear-mounted engines and a T-tail — bizjet DNA in plain sight
High straight wing over a long pencil fuselage, with a tall T-tail
High straight wing with the main gear tucked into a belly fairing — spindly and short
