747-500
This 747-500 model would have a range of 8,700 nautical miles or around 16,000 km. This range would have made it perfect for routes such as London – Sydney, New York – Sydney, New York – Singapore, and Los Angeles – Singapore. It would have been the 777-8X of its time and could have possibly been bought by airlines such as Qantas and Singapore. By comparison, the 747-400 could only travel 7,670 nautical miles or 14,200 km. Boeing felt that the program was very doable, cheap to build, and will result in approximately 10% reduced cost on a seat-mile basis compared to the original 747-400. read more.
