& Whitney PW4000 engines, May 18, 1989 having General Electric
CF6-80C2s and June 8, 1989 having Rolls-Royce RB211-524Gs.
Boeing delivered the first 747-400 airplane in 1989 to Northwest Airlines.
he Boeing 747-400 airplanes offer their services at
over 210 airports around the world; also it is called “the world’s best
freighter” and the world’s fastest commercial jetliner.
The
747-400’s has also the most visible aerodynamic enhancements - the
6-foot (1.8 m) longer wing with a 6-foot-high winglet angled upward and
slightly outward. These improvements reduce fuel burn and extend the
airplane’s range.
