The Boeing 747 is an American-made, four-engined, wide-bodied commerical aircraft that is made by Boeing. Known as the Jumbo Jet, it is probably one of the most well known airplanes of all time. First introduced in 1970, many airlines have only just begun retiring their 747 fleets. Its distinct characteristics include its short second deck at the front of the airplane which creates it's distinctive hump. The 747-8 is currently the world's longest commercial aircraft at 250 ft, but the 777-9X will succeed it later. Because the 747-400 (the most widely used version at this time) is so old and because of competition from Airbus' A380, Boeing designed the stretched 747-8. Because of a change in airline strategy and the sucess of the A380, the -8 continues to sell slowly. But no matter what happens, the legacy of the 747 will live on forever.
In game, there are many variants of the 747. They include the B747-100 [F], B747-200 [F], B747-300, B747-400 [F], and B747-8 [F].
