Airliner Tech 10
The Boeing 747-400 is the latest version of the airliner that changed the world. In many ways it is a new aircraft rather than a development of the jumbo jet that brought long distance air travel within the reach of the average citizen. With an outer shell that dates to the mid-1980s and an interior that reflects the digital revolution, many regard the 747-400 as the most majestic flying machine ever to grace the skies. This volume includes extensive technical information on the 747-400, including construction photos and details and illustrations from technical manuals. It also includes information on variants for the cargo industry and the military, including the Air Force's YAL-1, a platform for a prototype antiballistic-missile laser. An appendix includes all 91 built, listing type, line number, registration, and the operator.
