Boeing 747-400
|
Boeing
launched the 747-400 in October 1985 and the
first development aircraft first flew on April
29 1988. US certification was awarded in January
1989.
The 747-400
externally resembles the -300, but it is a
significantly improved aircraft. Changes include
a new, two crew digital flight deck replaced the
analog systems of the 747 classic with digital
avionics, with six large CRT displays, reducing
the number of lights, gauges and switches from
971 to 365. Programmable displays and simpler
cockpit procedures also reduced the workload in
the cockpit.
An increased
span wing with winglets (the -400 was the first
airliner to introduce winglets), new engines,
recon toured wing/fuselage fairing, a new
interior, lower basic but increased max takeoff
weights, and greater range.
The
747-400 is currently the only model in production, and it is the
best-selling member of the 747 family.
Boeing 747-400
variants:
-
Boeing
747-400 Passenger aircraft.
-
Boeing
747-400D Domestic passenger aircraft
for high-capacity transport on short routes
no winglets.
-
Boeing
747-400M Combi passenger, cargo with
left-side main-deck cargo door aft of the
wing.
-
Boeing
747-400F Freighter airplane it has a
nose cargo door and a optional main-deck
side cargo door.
-
Boeing
747-400ER Passenger aircraft is an
increased gross weight derivative of the
747-400. The 747-400ER can be equipped with
up to two fuel tanks in the forward lower
cargo compartment.
-
Boeing
747-400FER is similar to the 747-400F,
except for the increased gross weight
capability which allows it to carry more
cargo weight. This airplane is not fitted
with the cargo compartment fuel tanks.
-
Boeing
YAL-1A Airborne Laser for the USAF.
-
Boeing
747-400LCF The Large Cargo Freighter's
unique design will feature an entire aft
fuselage that swings open for loading.
Modifications to enlarge the upper fuselage
will increase the volume of the main cargo
deck to 1.845 m³, 300 percent more capacity
than the 747-400 Freighter, the largest
freighter in regularly scheduled service.
Two Large Cargo Freighters will be needed to
support initial 787 production. Two 747-400s
that will be converted to the new
configuration were purchased by Boeing in
2004. Boeing continues looking for a third
airplane that will enter service later.
Certification of the first Large Cargo
Freighter will occur in 2006, with the
airplane returning to service in 2007 to
support final assembly of the first 787
Dreamliner.
