Back to SimplePlanes! I’ll be more active in the New Year.

New Features:

  • Replaced Vertical & Horizontal Stabilizers.
  • New Colors
  • And those are all the features I remember, I had this plane in my storage (again) and completely forgot about it.

I hope you enjoy!

Important Information (Wikipedia)

While the 747-100 powered by Pratt & Whitney JT9D-3A engines offered enough payload and range for medium-haul operations, it was marginal for long-haul route sectors. The demand for longer range aircraft with increased payload quickly led to the improved -200, which featured more powerful engines, increased MTOW, and greater range than the -100. A few early -200s retained the three-window configuration of the -100 on the upper deck, but most were built with a ten-window configuration on each side.[159] The 747-200 was produced in passenger (-200B), freighter (-200F), convertible (-200C), and combi (-200M) versions.[160]

The 747-200B was the basic passenger version, with increased fuel capacity and more powerful engines; it entered service in February 1971.[71] In its first three years of production, the -200 was equipped with Pratt & Whitney JT9D-7 engines (initially the only engine available). Range with a full passenger load started at over 5,000 nmi (9,300 km; 5,800 mi) and increased to 6,000 nmi (11,000 km; 6,900 mi) with later engines. Most -200Bs had an internally stretched upper deck, allowing for up to 16 passenger seats.[161] The freighter model, the 747-200F, had a hinged nose cargo door and could be fitted with an optional side cargo door,[71] and had a capacity of 105 tons (95.3 tonnes) and an MTOW of up to 833,000 pounds (378 t). It entered service in 1972 with Lufthansa.[162] The convertible version, the 747-200C, could be converted between a passenger and a freighter or used in mixed configurations,[67] and featured removable seats and a nose cargo door.[71] The -200C could also be outfitted with an optional side cargo door on the main deck.[163]
