  15. Boeing 747 Family – “Jumbo Jet” • The US President’s Aircraft “Air Force One” is a Boeing 747 • Since 1970, it held the passenger capacity record for 35 years • For the production of 747, Boeing built the largest building with regards to the volume in the world • Expected to become obsolete after sales of 400 • Outlived many of the critics’ expectations and by the end of 2006, 1380 planes have been built • The 747-400 tail height is equivalent to a six-story building • The 747-400 wing measures 5,600 sq. ft., an area large enough to hold 45 medium – sized automobiles
