The Boeing 747-100, the world's first widebody commercial airliner, revolutionized global air travel by doubling passenger capacity over existing jets.

Measuring 231 feet 11 inches in length with a 195-foot 8-inch wingspan, the aircraft achieved a maximum range of 5,800 miles. The Boeing Company manufactured 168 examples between 1968 and 1981 at its Everett Factory in Washington state.
