Boeing B747-400

The only member of the "Jumbo" family currently in production, the 747-400 incorporates major aerodynamic improvements over earlier 747 models, including the addition of winglets to reduce drag, new avionics, a new flight deck and the latest in-flight entertainment systems. Available in standard -400, Domestic (all single class), Combi and Freighter versions, the 747 offers a product for every operator.

The first 747 delivery was in 1969 and Boeing delivered the first 747-400 twenty years later, in 1989, to Northwest Airlines.
