High-quality metal model of the Boeing 747-4J6 aircraft in detailed design based on the real model. The package includes a stand, antenna and landing gear.
The Boeing 747 is a long-range wide-body aircraft designed and manufactured by Boeing Commercial Airplanes in the United States from 1968 to 2023. After the introduction of the 707 in October 1958, Pan Am wanted a jet aircraft 2+1⁄2 times its size in order to reduce the cost per seat by 30%. In 1965, Joe Sutter left the 737 development program to design the 747. In April 1966, Pan Am ordered 25 Boeing 747-100 aircraft, and in late 1966, Pratt & Whitney agreed to develop the JT9D engine, a high-bypass turbofan. On September 30, 1968, the first 747 rolled out of the custom-built Everett factory, the largest building in the world by volume. The 747's first flight was on February 9, 1969, and the 747 was certified in December of that year. It entered Pan Am service on January 22, 1970. The 747 was the first aircraft to be called a "Jumbo Jet" as it was the first wide-body aircraft.
