Information
The Boeing 747, popularly known as the 'Jumbo Jet', was the world's first wide-body aircraft and the largest airliner of the 20th century - its size only surpassed by the 21st century Airbus A380. The 747 has 4 engines and an upper deck behind the cockpit. Almost one and a half thousand 747s have been built, and it remains in production today.
Mainly used for intercontinental service, specially strengthened versions (for more takeoffs and landings) were also built for high-capacity domestic flights in Japan.
