Aircraft Facts: The Boeing 747, which is also known as the jumbo jet, is the largest passenger airliner in service. However, it will be surpass More..ed by the Airbus A380 which is scheduled to enter service in late 2006. The four engine 747, produced by Boeing Commercial Airplanes, uses a two deck configuration where the small upper deck is usually used for business class. A typical three class layout accommodates about 400 passengers while a one class layout accommodates a maximum of 600 passengers. The hump created by the upper deck has made the 747 a highly recognizable icon of air travel.

The 747 flies at high subsonic speeds, typically 0.85 Mach or 565 mph or 909 km/h, and features intercontinental range (8,430 statute miles, or 13,570 km, for the 747-400 version) in some configurations sufficient to fly from New York to Hong Kong, roughly a third of the globe, non-stop. In 1989, a Qantas 747-400 flew non-stop from London to Sydney, a distance of 11,185 miles (18,000 km), in 20h 9 min, although this was a delivery flight with no passengers or freight. By May, 2005, a total of 1382 aircraft had been built or ordered in various 747 configurations, making it a profitable product for Boeing.
