The Boeing 747

A Boeing 747-400 jumbo jet of Air New Zealand

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.
