The first jumbo jet, the Boeing 747-100, was introduced in 1969 and could carry nearly 500 passengers. For 37 years, it held the record for passenger seating capacity until surpassed by the A380. The 747-100 marked the start of Boeing's 747 family and boasted a size more than two and a half times larger than its predecessor, the Boeing 707-320. With seating configurations in single, two, or three classes, it could carry between 366 to 550 passengers. Introduced alongside the DC-10 and L-1011 Tristar, the 747 distinguished itself as the largest airliner for 37 years. The series continued with -200, -300, -400 versions, and now the latest -800 or -8I version. With a cruising range of over 5,000 miles and a speed of over 550 mph at 35,000 feet, this iconic aircraft boasts improving numbers in cruise, payload, and range with newer versions.
