Boeing 747-400 Large Cargo Freighter (Dreamlifter)

The Dreamlifter, formally the 747-400 Large Cargo Freighter, is a 747-400 rebuilt to fly the huge composite structures of the 787 Dreamliner, among them whole fuselage sections, from partners around the world to the final assembly lines at Everett, Washington, and Charleston, South Carolina. Its upper fuselage was enlarged into a hold of 65,000 cubic feet, three times the volume of a 747-400 freighter, and the whole rear fuselage swings open for loading from the rear. Boeing had four converted; the fourth and last entered service in February 2010. Atlas Air flies them, and they have their own ICAO code, BLCF.
