What is the Purpose of the Modified 747?

[Mahogany]

Hi all,

I came across these pictures and just thought to ask you guys your thoughts one them. I was wondering what exactly this is, an attempt at a freighter? testing new composites? Or maybe developing a stretched deck to compete with the A380? I don't know... but it's definitely interesting looking. What do you'll think?

Do a search for "747 LCF" and all will become apparent.
