A glance at their differing specifications. With a better visualization of how different each variant can be imagined to be, such as how the Boeing 747-100 and 747SP will be notably shorter compared to the Boeing 747-300 variant and onward, let's discuss other differences between the models. From their measurements to wingspan and even the The 747-300 was the end result of a number of Boeing studies which looked at increasing the aircraft's seating capacity. Ideas studied included fuselage plugs fore and aft of the wing increasing seating to around 600, or running the upper deck down the entire length of the fuselage. In the end Boeing launched the more modest 747SUD (Stretched The Boeing 747 is a large, long-range wide-body airliner designed and manufactured by Boeing Commercial Airplanes in the United States between 1968 and 2023. After introducing the 707 in October 1958, Pan Am wanted a jet 21⁄2 times its size, to reduce its seat cost by 30%. In 1965, Joe Sutter left the 737 development program to design the 747. It was shortened for the longer-range 747SP in 1976, and the 747-300 followed in 1983 with a stretched upper deck for up to 400 seats in three classes. The heavier 747-400 with improved RB-211 and CF6 versions, along with the PW4000 (the JT9D successor), and a two-crew glass cockpit, was introduced in 1989 and is the most common variant. The Boeing 747-300 was developed from the 747-200, itself developed from the 747-100. As a result, the 747-300 shares a lot in common (in terms of specs) with both jets it was developed from. In turn, the 747-300 was also later developed into the 747-400, which was later developed into the 747-8. Airline operators. There were 441 Boeing 747 aircraft in active airline service as of December 2023, comprising 1 747-100s, 3 747SPs, 20 747-200s, 4 747-300s, 259 747-400s, and 154 747-8s.
