Notes:
In 1968, 54 years ago the very first Boeing 747 was rolled out of the Everett, Washington factory. This week the very last 747 rolled out a 747-8 Freighter that will be delivered to air cargo operator Atlas Air in early 2023.
As on the 747-400F, the upper deck is shorter than passenger models; the 18-foot-3+1⁄2-inch (5.575 m) stretch is just before and just aft of the wing. The 747-8 Freighter was designed with a 975,000 lb (442 t) maximum take-off weight with a payload capability of 308,000 lb (140 t) and a range of 4,390 nmi (8,130 km). Four extra pallet spaces were created on the main deck, with either two extra containers and two extra pallets, or three extra pallets, on the lower deck.
#1 Boeing 747 (747-100) is now on display a few miles south of the 747 factory at Seattle’s Museum of Flight located at the southern end of King County International Airport in the city of Tukwila, immediately south of Seattle 54 years is an amazing production history with 1,572 Boeing 747’s having rolled out of the Everett factory
