Image Details and Quick facts

Name:	Alitalia Airline "Bvlgari"
Type:	Boeing 747-200
Capacity:	up to 524

From its first flight in 1969, the 747 has been an airplane of superlatives: It was bigger, flew farther and carried more people than any other commercial airplane. Today, that's still true.

The latest model, the 747-400, can fly 416 to 524 passengers about 8,400 miles and is available in four models. The 747-400 has a two-pilot digital flight deck, a new interior and is powered by stronger, more efficient engines. With its huge capacity, extended range and improved fuel efficiency, the -400 offers the lowest operating costs per seat of any commercial jetliner. In addition to the passenger version, the 747-400 is offered as a "Combi" -- carrying passengers forward and cargo aft on the main deck -- as well as a domestic, high-capacity version and an all-cargo freighter.

Boeing is continuing the development of the 747-400 and building on its strengths to fulfill future requirements of the small but important 747-and-larger airplane market. Boeing is developing a 21st century family of 747 derivatives to be well positioned if customer demand and market requirements warrant moving forward.
