Boeing 747-400
The 747-400 passenger jet was certified by the FAA in January 1989. It looks much like the 747-300, but its wing is extended at the tips and carries winglets, for a span of 211 ft 5 in, and it brought the 747 a digital flight deck for two pilots. Boeing's planning layout seats 400 in three classes, with business class on the upper deck, and it is certified for up to 660 passengers. Airlines chose General Electric, Pratt & Whitney or Rolls-Royce engines. The heavier 747-400ER takes off at up to 910,000 pounds.
