Pratt and Whitney were also working on this concept and in 1966 Pan AM, Boeing and Pratt and Whitney agreed to develop the JT9D as the powerhouse for the 747. The high bypass turbofan delivered twice the power of turbojets which were in use at the time and used one third less fuel. General Electric had applied the principal to the C5 Galaxy project. One of the main enablers that made such a larger aircraft possible was the advent of high bypass turbofan engines. This gave a very effective increase in capacity, however, the ability to evacuate two decks of passengers was found to be not possible within the recommended 90-second limit.īoeing opted for a single main deck which was then widened from the standard economy configuration of the day of three and three seats with a single aisle to a twin-aisle layout with seating in three-four-three seats.

Initial designs of the 747 called for a twin-deck aircraft, with two decks running the full length of the fuselage. Being involved from the beginning of the design and development of the Boeing 747, Pan Am influenced these phases more than any other airline before or since. Pan Am became the launch customer for the Boeing 747 in April 1966 by ordering 25 Boeing 747 100s. The design team for the Boeing 747 had to come up with an aircraft that met the requirements of airlines who wanted mass passenger movement, but at the same time had the ability to be an effective freighter. At this time in aviation, it was felt that supersonic travel had every chance of becoming the norm, so Boeing had to take an each-way bet. Some features were retained, but others such as the high wing design were discarded. The proposal Boeing had put forward for the military transport, the CX-HLS, was taken as a start point. In 1965 Boeing put together a design team to work on the new airliner which was already given the Boeing 747 designation. In addition to a different decal, the Air Force One 747 has a completely different interior, being loosely based on the real Air Force One and has a sharper nose. It costs R$195, making it one of the most expensive game-passes in the game, along with the Hot Air Balloon and Walrus. It's the largest variant of Boeing 747.Īir Force One is a variant of the Boeing 747, and it is the only paid airliner livery so far. It features the classic DreamLifter livery. The DreamLifter is based off of the 747, except that it has a wider body, allowing it to hold a higher volume of cargo as well as parts for more planes. The Boeing DreamLifter is an airplane that can be found in the Cargo section of the plane spawner, along with the Cargo 747.
The Boeing 747 has also a Cargo variant that can be spawned via the Cargo section.
In real life, it is called "The Queen of The Skies." It's the largest Boeing aircraft and largest aircraft in game without gamepass. Its model was updated along with the release of Air Force One. It formerly required group access and had a different, bubblier and rounder model. The Boeing 747 is a popular plane and is the second largest plane in the game, losing only to the Airbus A380.
