Thanks to 707 and SketchVC10. Boeing engineers designed the Boeing 747SP as an ultra-long-range jet airliner that exceeds the capabilities of its predecessor, the 747-100. Featuring a wide-body, four-engine layout, with double-deck design, plus an enlarged tailplane and streamlined trailing edge flaps, the aircraft showcases impressive speed and efficiency improvements over earlier 747 configurations. The shorter fuselage helps reduce weight by 25% relative to similar designs, ultimately enabling flights of unprecedented length. Boeing created this new model in response to a joint request from Pan Am and Iran Air to create an airliner that could span long distances while meeting both companies' unique needs. For Pan Am's Middle Eastern routes and Iran Air's Tehran to New York service, Boeing delivered exactly what was required. Additionally, by introducing the 747SP, Boeing hoped to carve out a niche for itself among competitors, solidifying its place in the mid-size wide-body market as the go-to option over smaller trijet designs.
