Jumbo jet

The Boeing 747

The Boeing 747 was the original jumbo jet. The 747 was the first wide-body airliner, first to use the twin-aisle concept, and the first airliner to use high bypass turbofan engines. Major features are:

*triple decks - the lowest used by some airlines for galleys as well as cargo
*distinctive profile - the hump over the forward fuselage makes this airliner easily distinguishable from others.
