Boeing's 747 Jumbo flight was the world's largest commercial flight. and also had two aisles. Boeing 747 commercial aeroplane production has ended at Boeing's Washington State production facility. The Boeing 747's nickname "whale" came from the design of the plane. Its second deck has a distinct "hump" that makes it easily identifiable.
This plane's more common and well-known name is "the Queen of the Skies." The 747 has served in a variety of capacities, including cargo plane, commercial aircraft, and presidential aircraft.
As a commercial flight, it could carry around 500 passengers. This flight was also seen in movies, TV shows, and music videos.
In 1969, it made its debut. making way for itself and others of its kind in the future. Making people realise they can travel around at an affordable price and had bought the change on the "aviation."
On December 7, the Boeing 747 was ruled out, marking a historic day as the 747 was finally moved out of the Boeing factor in Everett. More than 50 years of aircraft production had come to an end.
It can be said that one era has come to an end. giving a path for the new ones. However, for the past 15 years, the company and its rival, European Airbus, have been making widebody aircraft with two engines instead of the 747's four engines.
Thus, Delta was the last US airline that used the 747 as a passenger aircraft, which came to an end in 2017, and its last flight was on November 7th. But there are still international carrier aircraft that continue to fly. like German airlines.
The cargo carrier Atlas Air placed an order for four 747-8F freighters earlier this year. becoming the final customer to have a Boeing 747. And the last flight was ruled out on December 7, 2022, from the production factory in Everett, Washington. which was the 1574th aircraft produced. as reported by CNBC.
Boeing is headquartered in the Seattle area. In Washington and South Carolina, its assembly plant is located. Boeing headquarters are to be moved from Chicago to Arlington, Virginia. This was announced by the company in May.
In this factory, production will still continue and workers will still work. It was the last of its kind ever to be produced. However, the company is considering the future of the 777 and 777 X, which are expected to be released.
