Boeing 747SP

Boeing 747SP

The long range Boeing 747SP (Special Performance) is so far the only 747 model to feature a changed fuselage length compared with the 747-100.The fuselage is shortened by 14.35 m, while the vertical tail was increased in height to compensate for the reduced moment arm with the shorter fuselage. The Boeing 747SP retained 90% commonality of components with the 747-100 and 200.
