You can lose your ticket for that! Actually that isn't really true. The A4 will fly all day long upside down. Some planes don't fly inverted well anyway, and I would guess the 747 is one of them. IIRC the tail incidence is different than the wing on some aircraft (like the P-51) and that causes a loss of lift when inverted. The camber would be an issue as well, I would think.
