Boeing 747-8 / 747-8 freighter (B748)
B748 is the ICAO type code for both the passenger 747-8 and the 747-8 freighter, so a flight filed as B748 could be either. The two are the same size outside, 250 ft 2 in long with a 224 ft 5 in wingspan, with raked wingtips and four GEnx-2B67 engines. The passenger jet has a long upper deck and rows of windows along the main deck; the freighter has the short upper deck of earlier 747 freighters and a nose cargo door.
