1. The costs you cite, is assuming $6 per gallon for jet fuel. But the 2016 TYD is $1.39. http://www.transtats.bts.gov/fuel.asp http://www.transtats.bts.gov/f

Thus, the values would be about $11 for the 747-400.
6.37 for the 787-8.
In addition, at the $6 gallon rate, the newer 3rd generation 747, the 747-8 which uses the same engines (and I believe redesigned wings consistent with the 787-8) as the 787-8 is $42.49 compared with $47.34 for the older 747-400.
At the current $1.39 YTD per gallon price, the 747-8 costs $9.85 per nautical mile.
