Boeing 747

Easily one of the most recognizable airplanes in the world the Boeing 747 (aka The Queen of the skies or The Jumbo Jet) is a four engine, twin aisle, long-haul aircraft introduced in 1969. The plane is famous for its size and its iconic hump on the front of the plane where a second deck is located. The plane was a huge success at first and sold very well. There are many variants of the 747. seating between 400 and 500 passengers. The 747-100, 747-200, 747-200, 747-300 and 747-400 are all older versions, the 747-400 having been the most produced version of the 747. Recently the 747-8I was introduced but the plane no longer sells as well as it once did. The Queen's reign is sadly coming to its end.
