	Boeing 747
		The Boeing 747 is the largest passenger airliner yet built and one of a class of airliners known as jumbo jets (though the under-construction Airbus A380 will be larger).
		Other special 747s include four 747-200s which were converted for the U.S. Air Force to airborne emergency command and control posts, a 747 to transport the Space Shuttle and aerial refueling tankers.
		The first edition of the jet, the 747-100, rolled out of the Boeing factory in Everett, Washington, USA on 2 September 1969.

	Boeing 747
		Boeing Aircraft tells us that their 747-8 Intercontinental and 747-8 Freightliner aircraft are the new high capacity 747s that offer airlines the lowest operating costs and the best economies of any large passenger or freighter airplanes in the world today.
		Boeing hoped that the abilities of the SP would compete and take orders from the Douglas DC-10 and create a niche market, but only a total of 45 were built.
		Alan Mulally, president and CEO of Boeing Commercial Airplanes said, "We are thrilled to have Cargolux and Nippon Cargo choose the new 747-8 and become the launch customers for this next generation of the proud and valuable 747 airplane family.

		Boeing knew that it had to compete in the field and to save time it looked into shortening the 747 fuselage instead of developing a new aircraft.
		Boeing anticipates that as many as 40 -300's could be converted to freighters during the next 20 years.
		In May 1985 Boeing announced that it was to develop the 747-400 - an advanced evolution of the 747-300.

	The Boeing 747
		Nevertheless, building the plane was a highly risky undertaking for Boeing, both financially and technically.
		Boeing used a new method of spotting potential hazards known as "fault tree analysis," where engineers could easily see the impact of a failure of one part or system on other parts.
		At one point early in 1970, Boeing had some 30 planes parked at its plant that could not be delivered until Pratt and Whitney had corrected the deficiencies of its JT-9D engine.

	Boeing 747SP Website - What is an SP?!?!
		Boeing estimated that a market existed for 214 aircraft, and the financial break-even point would be achieved with 45 aircraft.
		On November 12, 1975, Boeing decided to showcase that performance, and flew the fourth SP (msn 21025) non-stop from New York to Tokyo (a distance of 6,927 miles) with 200 passengers on board in 13 hours, 33 minutes, setting a new world record.
		But Boeing would claim the SP program to be a success regardless, for no other reason than it provided a springboard for many airlines to enter the wide body market.

	Boeing 747 Jumbo Jet - Widebody Aircraft Parade
		After Boeing lost the competition for the development of a large airlifter for the US Air Force in 1965, it sought ways to apply the experience gathered on this project to a big airliner.
		Boeing concluded, however, that such an aircraft would be too big for the aviation world of the 1970s.
		During the late 1980s Boeing developed the 747-400, with the same fuselage length and extended upper deck as the 747-300, a larger wingspan, winglets, a highly modernized digital flight deck, higher weights and a lower fuel consumption thanks to improved engines.

	Boeing Sonic Cruiser - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Boeing Sonic Cruiser was a subsonic concept aircraft proposed by Boeing Commercial Airplanes in 2001.
		Boeing had recently withdrawn its proposed 747-X derivative from competition with the Airbus A380 when not enough airline interest was forthcoming, and instead proposed the Sonic Cruiser as a completely different approach.
		A patent drawing filed by Boeing on March 22, 2001 put the baseline aircraft's dimensions at 250 feet in length, with a wingspan of 164.9 feet.

	Boeing 747SP / TWA - 0092
		The SP suffix in 747SP stands for Special Performance, and points to the ultra long range abilities of this 747 variant that preceded the current 747-400 by 15 years.
		The fuselage is shortened by 14.35m (47ft 1in), while the vertical tail was increased in height to compensate for the reduced moment arm with the shorter fuselage.
		Structurally the 747SP was lightened in some areas because of the significant reduction in gross weights.

		Whether they are taking their airplanes to the limit or doing a simple systems check, Boeing test pilots are also serving as qualified engineers, technologists and scientists.
		During flight test, they are as involved with the workings of the aircraft and its systems as they are with flying the plane.
		Boeing Commercial Airplanes chief production test pilot Dennis O’Donoghue is one of the few pilots who’s performed all four roles during his career.

	Boeing 747SP - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Boeing could not afford to develop an all-new design, instead shortening the 747 and re-optimized it for speed and range at the expense of capacity.
		The SP was also the first Boeing widebody to have a wingspan measuring longer than the length of the plane; the other is the 777-200LR, which is only slightly wider than it is long.
		Another special 747SP is the SOFIA infrared astronomical observatory, where the airframe was modified to carry a 2.5-meter-diameter infrared reflecting telescope to high altitude, above most of the infrared-absorbing water vapor in the atmosphere.

		America entered the age of the jet transport on July 15, 1954, when the Boeing 707 prototype, the model 367-80, made its maiden flight from Renton Field, south of Seattle.
		The versatility and reliability of the Boeing 727, first trijet introduced into commercial service, made it the best-selling airliner in the world during the first 30 years of jet transport service.
		This is a collection of Boeing 737 operating notes, photographs and news stories written by me and other 737 pilots.

	Airsider - commercial aviation news and reports
		The airline was looking for an airliner that could fly farther than the Boeing 707 but doesn't need such a huge payload as the other members of the 747 family.
		Boeing's answer was the 747SP, a shorter version of the existing Boeing 747s, with several modifications.
		Pan Am was the launch customer for the Boeing 747SP, but more airlines joined in and placed their orders for the short jumbo jet.

		Boeing developed the 747SP in the mid 1970s as a longer range, shortened 747, trading passenger seating for extra range.
		The SP suffix in 747SP stands for Special Performance, and points to the ultra long range abilities of this 747 variant that preceded the later 747-400 by 15 years.
		Sales of the 747SP were modest despite the increased range, as the SP had poorer operating economics per seat compared to the 747-200.

		Due Pan Am had no domestic route system it was not allowed to operate a flight from its World Port in New York to Tokio via L.A. So it had to fly the route "non stop".
		The Boeing B747-121 was not able to do this, so Pan Am asked Boeing for an airliner with that ultimate range.
		Boeing went back to the drawing board and at the end there was the Boeing B747SP.
