The Boeing 747 It is a wide-body commercial airliner manufactured by Boeing., which first flew commercially in 1970. Se lo conoce comúnmente como «Jumbo Jet» debido a su gran tamaño. Its last produced model rolled off the assembly line on 7 last december.

The 747 it was the first aircraft to have a double-aisle cabin, which allowed for a higher passenger capacity than previous aircraft. También fue el primer avión en tener una «joroba» en la cubierta superior, which houses the cabin and a lounge for passengers.

La «Queen of the Skies» revolucionó los viajes aéreos al hacer que los vuelos de larga distancia fueran más asequibles y accesibles para el público en general. The 747 has undergone several updates and improvements over the years, being the most recent version 747-8.

Seven innovations thanks to Boeing 747

Currently, many airlines are phasing it out of commercial service and replacing it with more efficient twin-aisle aircraft in combustible, but despite this, his legacy is maintained over time and his design plus production changed the airline industry forever.

1. widebody design: As the first twin-aisle aircraft the 747 lowered the cost per seat and made air travel more affordable. Passenger capacity was double that of any existing commercial aircraft.
2. hemispherical hump: As the 747 it was also designed to be a freighter, the ideal way to load the cargo was through the nose. Later, engineers determined that the best place for the flight deck was its own second level, allowing the nose gate to open without interference. hence the iconic hump.
3. charge transformation: The nose load allowed the transport of huge objects, as a result, the 747 catalyzed a new era in cargo transportation.
4. Redundancy: Triple redundancy on all major systems and quad redundancy on control and hydraulic systems improved safety.
5. High-bypass turbofan engines: These are more efficient, quieter engines helped improve takeoff acceleration.
6. simulators: The team of 747 designed the world's first full motion simulator to offer pilots immersive flight training.
7. behavioral training: The customer training organization created a new program, based on behavior in competitions. El resultado fue lo que se conoció coloquialmente como capacitación de «necesidad de saber».
