Boeing 747SP
The 747SP, for special performance, is the short 747: 184 ft 9 in long, which is 48 ft 5 in shorter than the standard airplane, on the same 195 ft 8 in wing, with a taller fin and a wider horizontal tail. Boeing's planning document says it can fly higher, faster and farther than any other wide-body of its time, for long routes that did not need a full-size 747. Its basic layout seats 331, with 28 in first class, and takeoff weights run from 630,000 to 696,000 pounds. Engines were Pratt & Whitney JT9D-7, Rolls-Royce RB211-524 or General Electric CF6-45. It has no main-deck cargo door option.
