Boeing 747-300
The 747-300 is the 747-200 with the upper deck stretched aft for more passengers; the fuselage, the 195 ft 8 in wing and the 231 ft 10 in length are unchanged. Boeing offered the longer deck as an option on new 747-200Bs and as a retrofit. With aft-facing straight stairs the upper deck holds up to 85 economy seats, and Boeing's planning document gives the whole airplane 565 seats in its basic mixed layout, 30 of them first class, or 608 in all-economy. Takeoff weights run from 775,000 to 833,000 pounds with General Electric CF6-50, Rolls-Royce RB211-524 or Pratt & Whitney JT9D engines.
